FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) My mate has just purchased the new Schmit & Bender MP 11 scope at a cost of £1500 and I have to say it is excellent. He wanted to try the scope out for long range as this is his forte. Anyway we spotted a hare sitting in a field and with the rangefinder assessed that it was 664 yards away. So after checking his ballistic chart printed from the internet , dialled in the turret the minutes of angle required at the required distance. Now there was a tiny breath of wind blowing from the right so he aimed approx 1 foot to the right and with his first shot he took the hare. I was totally gobsmacked To appreciate the distance if you follow the muzzle in pic below and follow in a straight line til you hit 2 bushes , that is where the hare was sitting Im sure varminter will appreciate this sort of shooting Pity I cant afford £1500 for a new scope Edited August 4, 2006 by FOXHUNTER Quote Link to post
