optics question
Looking for a quality rifle scope that I can use on a 270 win. was looking at the Leupold VX-II Rifle Scope 3-9x 50mm LR Duplex Reticle. Now the two hash marks below the center crosshairs seem like they would be useful, but I can't see how they would be accurate for each caliber. Would you just bracket your shooting at varying distances until you found the proper yardage for each hash mark for your rifle? Is there a table available that tells you which round a scope like this might be good for? Sorry if this is the wrong forum for a question like this.[?]

OK,
MOA, how does it work? What does it mean? I have a super accurate rifle sitting in my closet without a scope. I spent most of my shooting life with iron sights, and the remainder with pretty cheap scopes. This rifle needs a scope and frankly deserves a top notch one. (Its gonna have a lousy shooter so it needs something
Someone please school me on this. Thanks0 -
Easiest thing to do is forget the hash marks, zero the gun at 200 yards and the 270 shoots flat enough you'll be good to 400 yds for big game unless you're shooting squirels 0 -
The thing is this, you can't request an easy answer. Unfortunately, you have to test the holdover points until you know at what range, they are dead-on. Simply asking for holdover points to be be accurate, means you have to have a balistics table and provide it to a company that makes custom reticles. However, once you switch loads, your holdover points are no longer accurate.
Find the sweet spot with whatever load you find to be the best, then tests the holdover points at various ranges until you have the "known" drops mapped out. They will be close enough to take any medium to large game once you have done even moderate testing. Shooting at game at extended ranges, means a lot of trigger time and load testing. there is NO WAY around it.0
