BC--yeah that rig is the most accurate 22 RF shooter i have.
It probably would've been anticlimatic, but that was a great dramatic can kill, I thought. Did you notice how it was just sitting there minding it's own business, when all of a sudden here comes that little missile out of the sky, hits it hard (well sort of), and it freaks out wondering where in the heck that sucker came from, and falls over dead.
The only thing better would've been if the program was off somewhat and after the 1st shot i would've measured it with the reticle, calcd. the correction, ran it into the turret and the next shot be very close. That may have been better.
That bullet arced ~12.5 feet above the line of sight, and the program was still accurate enough to work that well (or lucky maybe) at that range. I though that was pretty amazing actually. Next time out i'm going to attempt 350, and also check to see if the ballistic programs calcs really were that close.
Lucky shot? Yeah i admit that, probably couldn't repeat in 10 shots or so, but the best part about it is it fit the ballistics program perfect, AND THAT EL CHEAPO OPTIC RETURNED TO ZERO--loved that too.
You know BC, the most fun for me is applying the math for improvising subtensions, and optics like that 1 for longer range shooting--i love that part. I actually learned something about the finger-adjustable turret systems that are so common in lower end optics--they can be zeroed out by removing the plastic rectangular keeper, turning the graduated disc on top to "0". Both ends of the arrow are set at 10 and 20 MOA (in that optic), and it works great for an improvised system. That was kinda' neat to learn. These turrets are very common and i wonder how many guys actually try to apply them like a target turret?
