Better to be low at bottom end and sacrifice a bit at top end than the other way around. I'm perfectly happy to use fixed 4x but absolutely hated variable that only went that low.

Ain't it a funny thing,the humble 177 slug gun/air rifle doesn't even get a mention anymore? Yet it teaches how to aim,how to hold,muscle memory and with a small amount of thinking can be used SAFELY...

agree with a lot you say Timmalatlon but cant agree with 30.30 and 7.62x39 they dont have any range -- squaw guns - give the new hunter a chance - 308 suppressed recoil as a lot have said...

You bascially need to make your own chart, the old way is to shoot at different distances on the range and measure the amount of drop, this is ammuntion intensive. I still do it this way for a .22,...
