Long Distance Scope

[TBrandum]

I love my Vortex optics, not on my last scope, I went with Burris XTR II and I'm super pleased.

Those are nice. Is yours illuminated?

I have several Vortex scopes 1 Razor the rest Viper PST all are FFP except 2. with the viper the 4-16x50 is a clearer scope in my opinion but the Gen 2. scopes supposedly fixed the clarity issue on the higher mag. scopes. I always dial elevation and hold wind the FFP scope is much better for this but at really long distances you may need to back magnification down to get more retical in view. FFP scopes take some getting used too if you have never used them. I recommend not getting a high magnification FFP scope stick with something in the 4-16 range.

I never cared for FFP scopes like I thought I would. I ended up going back to SFP scopes. If I'm shooting at distance I'm on full power anyway, so I can hold just fine. Different strokes for different folks. I know a lot of folks that bought into the theory of FFP only to return to SFP after trying it.

Whatever you do, make sure it's a mil/mil, or an moa/moa config. For whatever reason, some scopes still come with mildots in the reticle and moa adjustments (some vice-versa). Especially if the scope is a sfp, the mathematical equations become overwhelming, and you will have a much tougher time unloading the scope when you figure this out. My advice is to get a ffp mil/mil setup for your first lr setup. My next advice is don't be The guy who tries to shoot a deer at 1,000 yards just because you've put a hundred rounds down the pipe. Not saying you would, but many do because the YouTube videos make it look easy. They never show the crippling shots they make.

Is that ISnipe an app? If so is it worth the money?

Trying to hit a little target with a fat reticle has kept me away from the FFP game

Yep it is. I really like it.

I am pretty sure I am going to try the Vortex HS T. I appreciate all the help and advice. I will give an up date once I get it all set up and we get the range up after season.
Thanks everyone!

Will do that's exactly what I'm going to get.

Even better. I was looking at the 6-24 with the VMR reticle. Looking forward to hearing about it
