Long range optics

[mactavish]

Being semantically pedantic (& to be fair), I was probably making 7 out of 10 hits over the approx. 30 rounds spent... rather than the "almost every shot" I glibly recalled. (Though while plinking away that day, it did seem like hitting almost every shot... and it did feel mighty impressive... 😀)

And to be even fairer, the really impressive stat with my wee rig currently is the 5.1 SD I'm getting with this batch of Match. So if my back of fag-packet reckoning is in the ballpark, the top of the bell-curve was going consistently into sub 40cm vertical at 720m...

ps. Is discussion of vertical dispersion at silly ranges strictly off topic? Anyway, apologies too if it is.

Went to the show yesterday and got raped by Optics Whorehouse for a shiny new S&B PMII 6-36x56 HP. I haggled like a man and got a reasonable desk, though I doubt my wife would see it as the bargain that I do 😂 

I looked through a lot of scopes at the show, but you can’t really tell until you use them at 1000yards on a rifle. I tried a night force ATACR but hated the reticle and the fact that changing mag turns the rear eye piece is madness particularly as it ships with flip up covers. I’ve had a Schmidt for a long time and know how good they are😃

You weren't raped, you paid Optics Warehouse to give it to you....................a bit like paying a male escort! 🤣

I’ll have to bow to your superior knowledge in such matters Roy 🤣 I’m very pleased with it any am like the proverbial kitty on a tin roof waiting for A&S police to do my variation so I can trade the Barrett in for s nearly new AI AXMC and nail it on 😂
