Busta,
Do you have a Nikon Omega to compare it to? I REALLY want to try this scope but dont want to give anything up to the Omega scope.
Thanks
JJ,
No I don't, but I know a few guys that are making the switch. They were leupold fans, but had bought the Nikon Omega because they were offered first. I really like the Nikon scopes, but I dont like the large circles.
The beauty of this scope is you can tune it to your load, You dont have to tune your load to the scope.
Example: Put it on 9 power,,,zero crosshairs at 100,,,set up target at 300,,,make sure your target is high and lots of cardboard under it for drop,,,shoot at 300 yd bullseye with the 100 yard crosshairs,,,mark where your group actually hits below bull,,,with rifle benched center crosshairs on bull at 300,,,turn ring until the 300 setting is lined up with your group while maintaining crosshairs on bull,,,wherever that is, that is your setting for 300,,,then check your 150,200, and 250 for accuracy,,,they should be real close according to Leupold. WE SHALL SEE! :wink: I don't know about 300, but the same thing can be done at 200 or 250.
I sure am not expecting a miracle, but I think I can find a setting that will be satisfactory for out to 200, maybe 250. 300 would be great for varmints, but that is a long way to poke a deer IMO, unless conditions were perfect and you have several days of practicing. the wind drift at that range must be unreal.
