Thread: .222 turning back the clock

Greetings Nathan F,
Congratulations on going to the old school simple side. Shooting all those deer inside 200 metres indicates that a long range scope and all the modern whizo bits are not needed for your hunting. You don't need to go back to a 1960's scope with a post reticle and dimmer optics like Willy used but a fixed power scope could be considered. My 6.5 has a Leupold 6x42 FX2 with the long range Duplex reticle. This is a super light scope and the reticle can be used both for hold over and estimating range, at least to the ranges you may be shooting. Lots of retro cred as well.
Regards Grandpamac.
