Love them tipi buttes down there! Good shooting, as usual, Steve.

Haven't seen Stick or John Burns shoot, but have witnessed you walk the walk...and do mathematic equations (talk) in the field it would take me a week with a calculator to figure! grin

Thks. Dan, we did have some fun that 1 day together. Lookin' forward to next time.

U know i was trying to figure a way to put the long range dope from the 22 on that Charger, but while studying the ballistics printout i saw that from 200-400 it increases by a factor of ~2.0 MOA every 10 yds. and ~2.5 MOA from 400-500. The windage is a consistent increase of ~.25 MOA to 500 yds. every 10 yds. Makes it easier to apply the LR dope whilst screwing around at LR with a 22. We'll see. Fun stuff...IMO.

sscoyote,

Where does one get that reticle installed? The one on your Charger.

ColdCase1984: I like that reticle, but would like to be able to get it without springing for and S&B.

I love the 5 i have, believe it or not. But you can get 'em somewhat cheaper here and there. That 22 LR scope/reticle is responsible for the most fun i've ever had with a 22.

Now if u don't like it don't come over my house and beat me up...OK?

BTW, it's a 1st focal plane optic so it's not the best reticle in the world at 3x.

The guys that designed the reticles also designed the Rapid-Z's for Zeiss. U can see that some of the Rapid Z's and Rapid Reticles are very similar in design.

Be interesting if some of the 1st focal plane guys would post some pictures with the zoom at the top and bottom.

Thanks for all the pictures, ColdCase1984, varmintsinc, and sscoyote but I figured we would have quite a few more by now for comparisons.

Dang, this is not easy. Just tried it looking out into the back yard. Without trying to get an animal in the picture it was hard enough. Need more practice obviously.
