I don't understand why hunters with medium velocity CF rifles still sight in at 100yd zero. If you sight in 2 1/2" to 2 3/4" high at 100yds you can have a + or - 3" trajectory out to 270-300 yards. A deer's vitals are about 9" in diameter a hit anywhere in that 9" circle will result in a quick humane kill. W/a + or - 3" maximum point blank range you would hit in that circle W/a center POA to beyond 270-300yds & could hold" on hair" to 400 yards or more. The trajectory is a parabola & it will cross the LOS 2 x no matter where you sight in. Sighting in 2 1/2" high at 100yds will have the bullet cross the LOS at somewhere around 25 & again at about 240 yards depending on Mv & BC.. W/a 100yd zero those values will be something like 60 & 100yds, hitting as much as 15" low @ 300yds My 8 x 57 W/200gr Hotcore (not a very high BC) @ 2730 fps Mv sighted in 2 3/4" high @ 100yds will cross the LOS + 1/10" @ 25yds, - 1/10" @ 230yds. It will top out @ +3" from 120 to 145yds & hit 3 2/10" low @ 270yds. Something like a 7mm-08 W/140gr Ballistic tips would have a similar + or - 3" PBR sighted in 2 1/2" high @100yds closer to 300yds. The point is, you will not miss a deer @ close range sighted in 2/12" high @ 100yds & if you happen into a chance @ a good buck that is across a meadow or on the next ridge of a power line 300yds away you won't have to guess hold over. Anyone that knows their actual Mv & the bullet used can give me that information W/the height above the bore that their scope is (low medium or high rings). I can plot out your 100yds zero for + or - any trajectory value you want. For deer the usual is 3", for Elk perhaps 4" to 5".

They were found guilty of arson of federal property which carries a MINIMUM sentence of 5 years. The1st judge disregarded the minimum sentence, the feds appealed & won. The Hammonds were sent back to serve out the remainder of the 5 year minimum sentence.. Domestic terrorism carries a much longer jail sentence than 5 years.

Cradle robber!

LOL, all those Muslim haters that watced FOX News didn't even realize that an Arab prince owned half interest & the other half was owned by an Australian.

Bi-sexual twin sisters?

If msnbc is the armpit, FOX is where you would insert the enema tube.

I'd take my chances. Seriously, that's absurd and he has admitted it. If cunnilingus can cause throat cancer, I might be in trouble then.

Not even this?

Like riding a motorcycle in the sky!

Yeah like that's going to happen.

Here's the item at the top of my list. http://www.bayaviationonline.com/pt-19-warbird-rides/

OK I googled.2 things going against them. 1 They are aluminum & would look out of place on a classic Mauser. 2 They don't list an application for Mausers.

So, what are DNZs?

FOX News lie? NEVER!

Maybe not $hillary.

Please enlighten me.

Here, now spank yer monkey! Try to "time it" so your looking at the last picture when you>>>>>well, you know.

Yep, the only kind use.

If I did that I would want to make sure you weren't "hunting" in the same vicinity as me!

Hey "stubby" your post on another thread were the inspiration for me to take the plunge.

For the average shooter with a 9 x magnification an objective lenses bigger than 45mm will only be added weight as the human eye can't admit the added light transmitted by the larger exit pupil. That being the case, there will be no noticeable difference in brightness between a 9 x scope with a 50mm objective lens & a 40mm OL. Sight your 7mm-08 about 2 3/4" high at 100yds & you can extend that range to 300yds Grampy. ^^^^X2^^^^ I run all of my loads across a chronograph. I can then enter the Mv & the BC of the bullet into "QuickTarget" with the height of the LOS above the bore (usually around 1.6") & the maximum value above or below the LOS for the trajectory.(typically3") The program will then give me the 100 yds zero, the point at which the bullet is 3" above LOS, the distance at which the bullet crosses LOS & the distance where the bullet is 3" below LOS. It will also give the trajectory at whatever yardage increments you specify out to whatever distance you specify. Typically, a medium caliber, medium weight spitzer bullet traveling between 2700 & 3000 fps W/3" maximum above/below LOS trajectory the 100 Yd zero is between 2 1/2" & 2 3/4", the maximum distance above LOS is around 150 yds & the distance for 3" low is 275 to 310 yds depending on Mv & BC. Anyone that uses factory MV for some sort of super duper range estimating reticle is fooling themselves as the factory Mv can be way off, as can load Mv from load data in reloading manuals. If you know what the gap subtends (sp?) @ 100yds, a simple Duplex or Niplex reticle, can be used to estimate the distance of an animal using the average distance from brisket to whithers if that animal. On the other hand, if you now the distance you can use the same information to estimate the size of the animal from brisket to whithers.

The Bundy incident had to do with deadbeat Bundy refusing to pay grazing fees like everyone else.

I'm thinking about trading it in on a Remington M783 in .223. The local Gunshop said that the trade in value for a sporterized M98 in 8x57 is about $150.

Function will be a trade off, lighter weight vs possible slightly less low light performance although the improved optisc will probably cancel that out compared to the scope it replaces. And I said that I wasn't sure if I liked it or not.

I have always read that 5mm is the maximum exit pupil that the human eye can benefit from. Hence most variable scopes have an objective lens size close to the 5 factor for the highest magnification. 3-9x40, 2-7x28, etc.
