AK308 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Is there anyone out there who can explain the concept of ballistically calibrated scopes? I always thought a scope was a scope. :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Example of the Nikon BDC - Bullet Drop Compensating - Reticle.Zero it at 100 yards, dead center. If you're shooting something at 200, use the hash mark down, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 There are also Bullet Drop Compensator scopes. Zero your scope to 100, then the elevation dial is marked for different distances to adjust your zero. Companies like Nightforce, Swarovski, Zeiss will ship you a marked dial for the exact bullet you are shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Great optic, man. I think you have two choices with that one - BDC-800 reticle, so it'll have bullet drop lines/circles for the different ranges. I think you can also do a standard reticle (crosshairs), and you'd get the calibrated turrets with range marks on them. Dial in the distance, shoot... <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
