I'm thinking about the 100 yard shots that I'm working up to Thanks for all the other replies. All read and digested. 8 times max perhaps the opticians would not be a bad idea.

Dekers Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Just back from Bisley, 300 yards, cranked it up to 8x, crumbs, that target looked big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just move the target back then it’ll get smaller!!!!! what groups where you get at 300 yards with a 22lr ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) Air rifle - 10x (4 - 12 x 44) Rimfire - 10x (4 - 16 x 50) 223 - 10x (4 - 12 x 50) 308 - 10x (10 x 44) Mildots work properly for range estimation at the magnification of 10x on each scope, at all other mags they are not correct.

inthedark Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 4x for me too, keeps it reasonable and works well. Would I use more magnification if I had a bigger scope spare? - maybe, but I wouldn't chase it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Interesting how the same question a month back drew a whole different set of replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseplant Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Well, you know what they say about opinions! BUT, I was asking for opinions, so that's OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertt Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I thought it was the same thread ! Thousands shot with 4x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was .308, but to be fair is was a pretty still day, so if the scope could have been cranked high enough the groups with a .22lr would probably have been better than many would expect!
