So if there's something I learned....

Don't mess with the magnification to see the wind bands , use the parralax knob .

I've noticed I didn't really need to mess with magnification... it was worth trying out at the time, but your right about just messing with the parallax... I do see it in and out to 1K yards.


My vacay was approved!!!! I get to shoot the Raton Match this 1st of September

Nah, you're just shooting with friends. Don't let it get to you, it's just fun.

Have you guys ever shot enough or hot enough weather that mirage was resonating through your suppressor cover, and to top things off with mirage blasting up from the ground? Of course, being in the prone position made the ground in front of me seem like that's where mirage was starting..

Regardless of how much power I backed out or brought up, along with adjusting for parallax I was still getting a blurred sight of the target at 100. I started thinking that my glasses or my scope was dirty.

I noticed when I was shooting Jim's .223 bolt that mirage from the (lite profile) barrel was actually noticeable.

I'm almost under the impression that there isn't really much you can do about this, but to have your equipment sit and cool down.

That's pretty much it . Sometimes there isn't much you can do about it . The fabric can covers typically work better than the rubber one your running .

IF I knew, I'm note sure I would tell you.

I wanted to try a fabric one out compare it to the silicon one I got. I got the silicon one for a couple of reasons and one being not worrying about it if I shoot in the rain or snow. I may make a purchase on a fabric one here shortly

Great thread. Thanks guys. I'm thinking about all of this, no gun yet but I'm learning.
