    Don’t make this too difficult. 
     

    Let’s assume your max magnification is 20x. If your marks are 1 moa at 20 then they are 2 moa at 10x (1/2 the max magnification) and 4  moa at 5x…

    When you half the magnification you double the hash marks. 
     

    Good luck 

     

    That’s what i thought…thanks for the input.

  2. So, I have this sfp vortex scope, it’s a strike eagle, 3x18,  and I’ve recently learned that the hold over marks (don’t know what they are called?) change size with magnification adjustments.  And, that they are only true to proportion on the highest magnification setting.   
    So, what is the ratio I can expect when I dial the magnification back?  I’ve been told that the 1 moa lines become 2 moa at 9 power.  So, I’d like to know ratios at 3,6,9,12,and 15 power so I can make quick holdover decisions in the field.

    so, I wound up killing an elk last fall with this rifle, not knowing this information.  I backed off the scope a little bit, used hash marks, but I hit the elk about a foot high at 478 yards.  I was sighted in at 200.  But the elk dropped in his tracks, with the high  shoulder hit.  
    Can anyone confirm this, and what might the true ratios be ant different magnification setting?

    People always mention our 20 year drought. Yes this has been part of the problem but a much bigger part of the problem that most people forget is the trapping ban that went in 30 years ago. This has had a HUGE impact on our wildlife. Never forget. 

    I was just thinking about that yesterday.  If I could only run a trap line….


  4. After a couple of elk and mule deer, my son decided to chase white tails this year.  We put away our glasses and still hunted a creek bottom.  We got really close to a lot of deer in a pretty short amount of time.  We caught this guy snacking on acorns with a couple of other smallish bucks.  He was hiding behind a tree, and I could barely see antlers poking out.  When the other deer decided to bolt, I told my son to get ready and shoot as soon as he stepped out.  Well, after about a minute of peeking around the tree at us, he got nervous and decided to make a run for it.  My son took a heart shot at 40 yards, and blew his heart right out of the other side of the deer.   It was a short track job.

    This looks like a smoking deal. Same configuration as my Sunset (at least from what I can see from the outside). Even if the whole AC needs replacement. Some pix of the inside would be helpful. Good luck with the sale. 

    It is a smoking deal, but does need minor tlc.  Priced for a quick sale.  From what I remember it has no beds.  


  6. My dad is selling this for my sister.  It’s in camp verde.  It was pretty long, I can’t remember how long, maybe 25-30 ft.  Has a few slide outs.
    it needs a few minor things, something to do with the water pressure pump, and maybe the AC fan.  Call my dad for the scoop.  I think it’s a 2006.  $5000 obo
