98Z5V Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 My MAIN ISSUE is with something that can think they can CALL... "You are 0.3 mils LOW!" When that person does NOT have a ranging reticle, in MILS, in their spotting scope, or binos. THAT is Bravado, bullshiit, and not accurate. But it sounds tough to everyone else, that's at the match. First thing THEY think is "Wow! This guy really know his shiit!" And NOT. It was guessing, from the get go. Sounds cool though - until it backfires on you, as the Spotter, and someone calls you on your shiit calls... Someone that really knows...

98Z5V Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 At distance, I can actually fuq you up with a set of these binoculars. This is not common. This is the reticle in them. This isn't civilian shiit, and very few civilian companies even know this is a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 For someone to be cocky enough, without a real ranging reticle etched into the glass of their binos, to accurately measure what they are calling on you - Someone telling you that "You are 0.3 Low" - is just guessing. Sounds tough, though. Motherfucker, they sure SOUND like they know what they're talking about. They don't. That was Bravado - looks cool in the crowd. Most people believe it, and think they know what they're sayin.... Reality is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 1 hour ago, 98Z5V said: Hardly EVER. It's a special set of glass, if you have a ranging reticle in it. Those aren't normal. Military Steiner Binos - those have a MIL ranging reticle in them. Commercial, civilian stuff - very rare. Some do, though. In this case I was talking about - no ranging reticle. Guesses about what people were shooting. Bad guesses. Spotting, you don't know what some asshead is running, no idea - it's either Mils or MOA. No clue. Most snotty Spotters ASS-ume Mils, and call that, arrogantly. Hey, might have that MOA shooter on the line. That's a SPOTTER PROBLEM... Whence doing this shiit for a minute, you LEARN... CALL TARGET SIZE. That's what a GOOD SPOTTER does. Don't care what you're shooting, Mils or MO-AHS, doesn't matter. I'm calling your last splash in relation to the target - "you were LOW ONE TARGET, and HALF TARGET LEFT!" If I do THAT, as a spotter, I don't have to worry about what your reticle system is - and I don't care what you're shooting. I gave you an accurate call, based in dirt flying, and YOU figure out what your next step is gonna be, for correction... My input is yours - decision now is yours. Roger that thanks for clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted yesterday at 06:29 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:29 AM Had some damn great spotters today, for the match. Was a great day. I'm here to talk about something else. You guys remember what I've said, when we started shooting 1 Mile about 4 or 5 years ago. 1760 yards is a Mile. Well, that's a STATUTE Mile. We upped it a couple years ago, and wanted more. More than 1760 yards. So in Jan 2023, we set up 2,000 yards. 2k yards is a NAUTICAL Mile. You guys remember the talk. Run into a guy at a party, that everyone at the party wants you to like, but the stories he tells are kind off... SO, wtf, engage. "Oh yeah man, I shoot a Mile, TOO!" Yeah, really? What are you shooting? What caliber, what's your load, what's your dial - for the Mile" Crickets, and gibberish. The questions backfire, and are redirected back at you. What's YOURS? Oh, easy, for the 1760 Mile, it's just a bare bones Remington 700 Mountain Series with a Timney Trigger, an old-ass Nikon 6-24 scope that's SFP, with an EGW 40 MOA mount, and I have to zero the damn thing at 500 yards, because if the internal scope travel of that Nikon. I'm 16.9 Mils at a Statue Mile, 1760 yards. More crickets. So, you explain the difference between a Statue Mile (1760 yards) and a Nautical Mile (2000 yards) - and you get eyeblinks... Best thing to do is say, "I've smashed both..." Drop the mic and just walk away... @Magwa, I can fully dial 103.1 mils. That's 354.4 MOAs... Pay attention @Matt.Cross... This is a Game Changer... I can almost dial (6 mils short) of 4k yards - with my Slow Load. 300 A-Tips at 2650 fps. Unreal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted yesterday at 06:38 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:38 AM Got my Ivey mount in. It's a 60-mil mount. It actually dials 68.5 mils, before it hit the internal stop, right after 68.5 mils. This thing is a different world... Everything is about to shake up, for the ELR game we've been dabbling in...

98Z5V Posted yesterday at 06:50 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:50 AM Next weekend, we're dedicating the time to establish a legit, real, 3520 target location. We won't have a target up, but we're surveying everything via laser range finger and ON-X, and we'll have a real 3520 target that we're gonna shoot, in the Spring Shoot. Proof of Concept for the Fall Shoot this year. After next weekend, we'll have 5/8 rebar stakes IN the ground, at 3520 yards from the shooting platform on the hill. Someone is gonna hit it. Right now, I only know of 3 guns that will do it - and Gun Pusher John isn't bringing that .375 Chey Tac out for it... So, we're down to 2... Let's Party...
