What optic would be the best for this?
I have a TR24 that I have thought about using for this role like m1ajunkie but I am not sure that it has the features that I want to get me out to 600 yards. (I can dial it up but I don't have any means of ranging other than Mk1 eyeball.)
I would prefer an optic that would have a method of ranging built into the optic (mil-dots, BDC tree with chest width stadia, etc) and either a means of holding over or finger adjustable turrets that can be clicked up.
My experience with optics are as follows:
Aimpoint M4s (6920)
Leupold VXII 2-7x scopes (Browning A-Bolt)
Leupold Vari-X III 4.5-14x (Colt 6724)
Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x (6920)
I don't own or have any experience with other optics so I am not sure what is out there that will meet my wants. (Notice I didn't say needs, I don't know what I need, I am not that experienced.:fie:)
The only "ranging" that I have done in the past is with the Leupold Vari-X 3 scopes. If you bracket the chest of a deer and look at the ring zoom setting and you approximate the range.
So what do you guys think?
