Thread: Scope selection for 10/22

That state at the PSNZ22 shoot up the gulley was a good example of being able to combine dialling with reticle holds - the time limit and the requirement to shoot the targets in order from closest to furthest (~60m, 75m, 75m, 85m, and 140m - or something like that) and then closest to furthest again meant you really didn't get time to dial for them all. If the targets were not as large as they were I probably would have sacrificed the long target in order to focus on hits on the closest targets.

However, the technique that worked for me involved dialling the scope for the 85m target and then holding 1MIL low on the closest 60m target, then 0.5MIL low on the 75m targets, dead on for the 85m target, and finally 2.5MIL high for the long target. I shot this stage on 12x (my normal) using a supported kneeling position off the fence wire and managed to clean it with time to spare.

On this stage it was a slight advantage to have a reliable scope with adjustments matching your FFP reticle. In saying that, given the size of the targets I don't think this was needed either - there was plenty of competitors who only missed one or two shots on this stage.
