Quoted for truth. Went to Benning F-class once without a sloped base. Ended up holding 3 mil high just to touch the target.

Reaper Sir, would you mind sharing your perspective on the good and bad of the Tasco super sniper?

Peregrino, I would like to hear your take on the two. Gene Econ told me the following:
"The mil dot reticle is designed around upper torso targets. When the targets get smaller, the error gets increased in range estimation and holds. The TMR is a better choice as the tick marks give more precision in aiming. Also, the reticule pattern has tick marks on the outside of the reticle that are .1 MIL I believe so you have a more precise scale to use in your range estimation on small targets."
Sorry for the hijack RL. Not too often the masters pour their brains out on what I'm very passionate about
: long range shooting. Nothing like seeing steel moves, hearing the hit confirmation, then the actual "ping" after a second or so.Here are some resources to flatten the learning curve (or in my case it helps to spend some time in study/simulation before range time). Hope you find them helpful.
