Thread: How do you judge range?

Fence posts 1 - 1.2m high, everything is variable in height.

I admire the clever mechanical system of the US M-14 based M-21 sniper rifle of the 1960s, which adjusted for elevation by a cam/pinion connecting the tilting scope mount to the scope zoom ring. Zoom the 3-9x scope until the man-shape reticle fits your target... and voila!... bullet drop is roughly compensated for. If you are clever, compensate further for wind and the angle of depression/elevation. This would of course not work for NZ hunting as we have no deer the size and shape of a standard Viet Cong.



Notice the loops on the sling.
