[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3946995, member: 33119"] When I first got into LR shooting I did it for hunting and ringing steel. I had a very good rifle built by GA Precision in 7WSM and like many first timers an inexpensive scope to get the ball rolling. A very good friend of mine that I grew up with who now lives in Texas taught me a lot that he learned attending classes at Rifles Only. I utilize his knowledge and a lot of actual field time to try to understand and read wind and to develop my data book. This video was what I followed to check my Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 back in the day. [MEDIA=youtube]12Wf0Cuwwi8[/MEDIA] This was my result. Scope not level and not tracking true. Like in the video, these results are magnified the further you shoot. There is a lot of short range work prior to long range shooting. It’s only after your scope is mounted correctly and verified along with load development and hours upon hours of range time/data collection can the long range game begin. BTW, 1moa = 1.047” at 100 yards hence 30moa= 31.41” Even though I have a range finder I used a tape measure to measure from the scope caps to the target 100 yards away.
