Thread: 22 tactical

I am going to use a cheap scope with a mill dot -zero at 100 and check dot to distance and not wind the turrets

Have you tried it out yet El B? 1Mil = something like 4MOA, so if your scope has 5x MIL dots below center that would be 20MOA. My subsonic 22LR takes 28.5MOA to be bang on at 200m from a 50m zero...

Well, here is a trick from the French for you: zero your scope at a 100m or 120m, use the lower dots to shoot up to 200 and beyond, and the upper dots for shorter distances ;-)

yep, i expect that is what El B will do... or use higher velocity ammunition. Personally i wouldn't zero the rifle for a longer distance because it would require me to remember a whole lot of new hold unders for shorter targets that may be set under a tighter time limit. I would expect in a 22LR shoot to have mostly shorter targets and therefore would set up my rifle to best suit the majortiy of the targets rather than the occasional longer target.

I am more of a clicker than a doter but can do both :-)
