Then if you want to change loads, or the scope ends up on a different rifle, you are still good to go. Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

A BDC less MOA,is a quick track to pissing up a rope. Forget the BDC notion and drive straight .25MOA graduations...............

You guys have pretty much talked me into the M1 w/ .25MOA for my VX3 3.5-10x40. What about the windage turrets? Does anyone use them? Or is it overkill? Brian Last edited by moosedrool; 12/14/10.

Gimme LRF,dialed ele and I'll happily nudge wind with the horizintal wire,in conjunction to crosshair interface. Easier than it sounds and it assuredly don't sound difficult either...............(grin) Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains.

I don't know, sounds kinda complicated leaving out which dot or hash mark to use. Let's see, do I have a mil/moa or moa/mil, damn, where's my calculator, that critter is about to disappear. Only kidding folks, I am trying to decide on a scope for a long range rig myself, and since I am a little slow to learn, I keep going back to the beauty of simplicity.

Flop Naysayer MPAJ in the dirt,with a rucksack front rest and nothing to the rear. Have Naysayer laze target,read comeups on the inside of stock and dump erector accordingly. Have Naysayer send one onto plate...then await their "Holy [bleep] Schit This Is Easy" Rant to wane. Have Naysayer laze next plate,dump dope,send one and then outlast the second reiteration of the initial Rant to peter out. Lastly,have Naysayer Laze next plate,dump dope,send one and then brace myself for the length of the pending Rant.(grin) Have Naysayer return turret to "0" and repeat with different rifle/chambering.
