kip270 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi Guy's, Has anybody used the TDS reticule, I have a 4-16x50 on my Sako 75 25-06, but haven't had chance to use it yet (just ordered a hinged knee brace so I can get out with my ACL injury until my Op!!). Cheers Kip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Kip I had a TDS 3-12 years back; worked all this out; maybe of use to you (presumably the subtensions are all the same). Great highland stalking reticle.

jcampbellsmith Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Kip I had a scope with the TDS reticle and liked it a lot. I now have the BR reticle. What I have done is run the on-line calculator at a number of different magnifications and then printed a .pdf of each result. I then stitched the .pdfs together in order and store the .pdfs on my iPhone. If I go to a range, I can have a look at the sheet and generally pick a dot or step on the ladder to get me started.

Offroad Gary Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I use them on .243, 25-06 and 6.5x47 lapua. Zero at 200y and the bars will correspond to 300, 400, 500 and 600 with the 25-06. Or zero the first bar at 300 and drop back to 100/200 and see what the centres doing. Great scope for a 300y hunting rifle. Some push them further but you really need bigger animals and or perfect conditions. Not as precise as dialing, but very good. I shot a roebuck on friday with my 6.5, the bars on that are at 275, 375, 475 and 600, 1.8" high at 100, shot him heart/lung at 268y in a 15 mph crosswind, held on the front of his shoulder with the first bar-bullet dropped in exactly as expected. You do need to learn the drop, i dont mess around with different mags, its either 24x for a long shot in good conditions or i just use the centre of the ret and get closer for the sub 200y shot.

kip270 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Cheers guys, hoping to get out one morning this week before work to try it out, got some lamping to catch up on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Had one on my 7-08, it worked really well for chest shooting deer out to 300 yard. Didn't bother working it out for longer ranges as I feel that is a maximum range for me without dialing the turrets for more precise POI. Good luck with your testing...
