    Next video should be interesting. I want to how you turn the elevation turret and have the bullet strike to the left.

    • @RugerGundog
      @RugerGundog  Рік тому +1

      That is the plan. Will show you guys how you can land the shot on target same way with a turret spin or using the hold over. Will also show a few easy calculators that give you the numbers you need to use.

      I thought maybe he was holding the scope sideways or something! I definitely can’t wait to see how you get 2 mil elevation by holding 2 mil right lol I’m only playing with you, simple mistake. Still good info

    ok so I am a bit slow, but my top turret says up/down and not windage.. Assuming that is your top turret @ 4:59 as I can see a level attached that is pretty close to "level"?

    Just about to mount the new Arken SH-4Gen2 6x24x50mm VPR reticule on my AR-10. Went with Arkens 20moa one piece 34mm scope mounts. Hoping that can handle the recoil of 7.62 ok, as I really do not wanna make this already heavy scope more beefy with badger ordinance steel rings? I would love to see you use it on the range.

    If you could let me know I have a Tippmann M4 22LR and want to put the Arken EPL4 - 6-24-50on it. Looking at the VPR - MOA or should I get it in MIL spec. It will be for target shooting and would like to get into that with another 22LR down the road. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also what rings would you recommend for that scope with my Tippmann M4. Thanks

    Don't get whapped around the axils with subtentions. The only subtention anyone needs to worry about is .25 and .5 of a mil (mil scope) with tactical shooting. If you need more or less than these hold high or low, leading or trail edges of these subtentions. Don't make long-range shooting harder than it already is.

    But I agree MOA I much more accurate at long distances

      @@RugerGundog 90% of civilians don't know anything / are not interested / are "all talk and no walk" when it comes to precision rifle shooting at range, so the majority is still on the military side. Keep in mind, there is a whole world out there, not just US.
      Right now, if you want to be able to shot / operate at any time, in any location, MRAD is the standard. MOA is just something that US civilians use to feel different.

      In the UK we still mostly use MOA it's in the imperial measurement, as in inch,yard, miles.
      You can choose between 1/8th or 1/4 MOA, i use 1/8th for long range target work, out too 1200yrd.
      Hope this helps 👍

      @@davegrimshaw7318 well, both work, but 1/10 MIL is enough to touch the target at 1200m.
      Apparently MOA looks simpler to some shooters (mostly from countries that use the imperial units of measure) because they do the transformation from MOA to inches. Once they realize that there is no need to do this conversion and learn to think directly in MOA or MILS, MOA advantages start dropping like flies.
      Having said that, if everyone around you uses one unit of measure, you better think long and hard before choosing something else. You don't want to end up having to do conversions from the corrections they give you in their unit of measure to your unit of measure.
