    Who uses their reticle to range find?

    If you wanted to be helpful you could have just said put a piece of paper up marked with two lines 5.235 inches apart then at exactly 500 yards look through your scope at the paper. The lines should appear 1 MOA apart. Now your scope's sub tensions are calibrated at 500 yards.

    Who hunts with a 10lb+ rifle?

    Thanks. Yeah, I like Leupold stuff. I've got the bx4, great glass. Everyone that looks through them comments on their clarity.

    Nice rig. I've always liked the 30-06 cartridge. Does your weight include the tripod? Is that a Really Right Stuff tripod?

    Who uses their reticle to range find?

    I looked at the FFP scopes, but the price tag drove me away. The VX-5HD is a SFP (second focal plane), but I don't feel that's a big factor. When my target's past 300 yards I can flip the power up to 15x and use the reticle for firing solutions. I think I will make a distance chart and a dope...

    Who uses their reticle to range find?

    Thanks guys for you input. Doesn't look like its a common practice. I've been considering the Leica CRF 2800.COM rangefinder. Regardless of which rangefinder I land on, I can use it to develop my skills using the reticle for distance calculations. Then I'll have a back up when the rangefinder...

    Who hunts with a 10lb+ rifle?

    Attached is my elk rig weighing in at 9.8 lbs (rifle only). The tripod weighs 6.6 lbs. I could shave a pound with a different suppressor, maybe next year.

    Who uses their reticle to range find?

    Is it practical to use my reticle to find target distances for hunting? The scope is the Leupold VX-5HD 3-15 44mm with the Impact-29 MOA reticle (see attached). It's mounted on a 300 WSM rifle. I'll assume 35 inch top to bottom chest size for a bull elk and create a card for MOA chest...
