I bought my first hunting rifle in 2011 or 2012. Brand new Stevens 200 (low grade Savage 110) and topped it with a brand new Redfield Revolution. All said I don’t think I have more than about $400 in that rifle. Still use it regularly and that scope is a great value!
If you can see a 1" dot at 300 yds with a 6X scope, you have damn good vision. Congrats
Don't know if you know it or not. The Burris brothers prior to opening their store in Greeley worked for Redfield.
You don’t need to see a 1 inch dot you aim for center of target. Like shooting at the center of a ten inch white gong at 6 or 8 hundred yards.
Get a piece of typing paper and put it on the table in front of you. Now take a pencil and mark the center of the paper. Next use a straight edge and make an x going from corner to corner on the paper. Center of the x marks the center of the paper. How much did you miss by? There's a reason for aiming points on sighting in targets!
All it's supposed to tell you is how bad the human eye is at picking the center point. You could have a rifle that will stack bullet's off the bench but take away the aiming point and try it! Farther away is the aiming point harder it is to do!
Indeed. The human eye is quite excellent at finding centers. Like within 1/4 MOA with aperture sights. That is exactly my point.
Oh yea? Get you out a piece of paper and mark the center by eye!
Oh yeah. Come shoot 1000 yds with irons with me.
I don't shoot that far, never have and never will. For me it serves no useful purpose.
Okay, then don't. You cannot win, if you do not shoot. We can try 100 yds if you wish.
