Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I have both, and I have been using them for 3G all the time, when I was looking for an optic that would "do" it all? i was apprehensive in finding one. I am a Police Officer for a major PD and was thinking of buying one for work and then using the same thing for 3G, UNFORTUNATELY! our DRM (designated Rifle Man) program WILL NOT allow powered optic! so i have an aimpoint Comp 2 on my patrol rifle. I found the 1x4 and tried it out on my Patrol Rifle upper and participated in the 3G shoot in "Pueblo west Colorado" we were shooting at various known and unknow distance targets, the fartest was less than 300 yds but pretty close to it. before our team shot the event i went to "zero" my rifle, took off the aimpoint and then placed the 1x4 with a LT mount. bullets were winchester white box 55 gr bullets. i remember talking to Mr. Verdugo and he said that the reticle was based on the SS109 bullets for the military... (so i said to myself while i was zeroing the 1x4."here goes nothing") to my surprise, got zeroed at a 100 with 5 tries, shot a couple more to confirm and then tried the 200 which was only to the left of the 100 yard targe placed the corresponding dot and "ting" with one shot! needless to say that "zeroing" session was more of sounds playing "tak" (for a hundred target) and "ting" (for the 200 yard). i was even impressed at my shooting because (it was benched)my trigger cadence started to quicken as the afternoon progressed. i tried a couple of standing free hand shooting, ( i wont lie.. i missed some (shooter error of course)) but when i slowed down and saw the dots on target it was the same tune again of tik and ting... SWEET! will it hold zero? if any one here in the thread knows the guys that put up that 3g match in Pueblo West colorado? they will tell you that its a BLAST! the match was nicely planned and the stages were challenging. the last stage was the one with the "unknown" distances. consisting of round steel targets that i didnt know how big the targets were. i again remembered the conversation with Mr. Verdugo and "viola" range em in the corresponding ranging circles? use the corresponding circles? BANG! down they went! two gruelling days of 3G high altitude (for a Filipino/texan) known and unknown targets... YES it HOLDS ZERO! I'd also like to mention that I am in no way a "pro" at optics.. when i ventured out to 3G and was looking for an optic to use, i found GRSC and 1x4 was a "no brainer" it was easy to use! the reticle was not "busy" and worked! when the 1x6 came out? it was the first and still stays on my "benny hill" 18 and a half inch 3G AR. i shot this set up in the 2011 Larue multi gun! stage 6 or 7? the bonus stage and again i was using the winchester white box 55 gr bullets! (Lord heard my prayers because the wind was minimal when i went to shoot that stage) targets were 1 MOA and every hundred yard the target increased 1MOA. all were known targets 100, 200, 300, 400 and 480ish yards. I went to my positions and bang! RO was yelling HIT! after HIT! after HIT! the BDC was dead on! the last target 480ish gave me a problem (if you know that range, you know what im talking about) WIND!!! (I took 4-5 bullets to hit it but HIT it i did! with a WW white box!? from Walmart!! i was ecstatic! even barry dueck of surefire was watching through a high powered spotting scope, after i shot the stage he said "dude your group was like this" (making a roughly 7 inch circle with his hand,fingers) i was pumped! Yes it does hold Zero and I am using this optic to all my matches, regular and or major ones! Can I see the reticle on a bright day? YES with or without illumination, if you see me on the range, just ask, i have been showing it to other shooters so that they will "believe" that this reticle is "easy" even a caveman can do it and can be seen (not illuminated) during daylight as always "make the hit and shoot safe" MM
