    Sold Tikka 6.5CM Superlite Takeoff Barrel

    Angle Compensation

    Thanks tak, that's a very helpful and practical way of thinking about it all.

    Angle Compensation

    Oh yeah, I vaguely remember soh-cah-toa from way back when. Let me know if I'm summarizing this correctly. The trig to calculate side/angle relationships of right triangles gives you the ability to solve for a missing LOS, horizontal distance, or angle only. But once you have those 3 numbers...

    Angle Compensation

    Attached is a down and dirty chart I put together trying to get a better sense of the corrections I'm dealing with. I'm also trying to find some patterns or rules of thumb I can use in a rush. Still thinking about it all, but one "break over" point seems to be either inside 500yds or inside...

    Angle Compensation

    Thanks hereinaz, I missed that thread somehow! Reading this is a big lightbulb moment for me: "The difference between dope in the 580 45 degree and 410 0 degree happens because gravity also acts over time. The bullet traveling 580 yards spends more time in the air so gravity has longer to act...

    Angle Compensation

    The SIG manual says "AMR is very accurate for shorter distances (i.e.,400yds) and archery," without any further explanation. And again, I haven't actually trued it for anything beyond a few degrees of angle. It's also posed as a sort of academic question to better understand angle compensation...

    Angle Compensation

    For someone who uses a ballistics app and dope cards, and only has a basic rangefinder, how do you deal with angle compensation at longer ranges? I use Shooter and have a couple of cards for varying density altitudes I'm likely to see on a particular hunt. With a mil/mil scope and familiarity...

    Snake Boots!

    I've used Listo Brush Cruisers on all my desert hunts and they are fantastic. Very lightweight and similar to turtle skins, but a much better design. They stay in place and have a great system for the stirrup strap. Used them over Kenetreks and Alverstones with no issue...

    S&B Klassik 3-12....reliable and good stuff?

    For those interested, I called Eurooptic and they could not confirm either way on the new ones. The boxes are in a "secure storage unit" so he could not easily grab one to take a look. However, he said their shipment did just arrive roughly one month ago so would likely be the latest version...

    S&B Klassik 3-12....reliable and good stuff?

    https://www.eurooptic.com/Schmidt-Bender-3-12x42mm-Klassik-LM-P3L-BDC-H-Riflescope-645-811-882-40-05A02.aspx To be clear, did we confirm that a 4.8 turret does indeed exist on the newest 3-12x42 Klassic models (I understand questions remain concerning retrofitting older models)? Assuming this...
