How many MOA did the bullet drop at that distance?

Thanks for being a part of Vortex Nation! Let us know if you have any other questions and happy shooting!

3000 yards? Yikes! What are you shooting? I’m wondering how far my ruger precision rifle 338 LM w/golden eagle will shoot

@@APlife764 300PRC dosnt hit as hard as a 338Lapua , but with the right pill its Ballasticly superior . This cartridge has taught me how to shoot better.. And I used to think 1000 with my 6.5 was cool

@@jjames5928 believe me….although I’m enjoying my 338, even reloading is costly(but better) there are times when I wish that I had picked up the 300. I know it’s an amazing cartridge.

@@APlife764 hell even reloading the 300 sucks , its hard to find brass The 1st 500 rounds i got were all factory load Hornady eld-x , im on my 4th relaod with them now , and have 2000 rds of virgin brass I was able to aquire over the past year. I'm loading Mostly 250gr Hornady A-Tip and some 230 Hornady ELD-X .. I was able to find a shit load of powder before the pandemic hit and im down to my last 20lbs now so im gonna have to slow down a bit and practice refining my technique at 500-1000 instead of lobbing them at 2500+ . I definitely don't have the skills required to compete in KO2M but thats my end goal is to be good enough and have the money to build a 416 Barrett or 375 Cheytac

😉🇺🇸👍 I'm doing 300WSM in a 26" barrel, doing similar with 30MOA mount, out over a mile without a problem.... lol Love it!

Air guns, unless it is PCP, are very hard on scopes. If your air gun isn’t spring fired then there is no problem. I’m sure you knew this already.

Correct - if you set the zero stop it wouldn't work, but if you did not set the Rev Stop you would have plenty (depending on where you fall in the internal travel).

I would recommend checking out the book "The Ultimate Optics Guide To Rifle Shooting". It can be found on our website. This will give you a great overall understanding of scopes and adjustments to get you started. As always, we are here to help if you have any questions come up!

More expensive scopes.

You have to shoot the rifle and sight it in FIRST, THEN remove your top turret, set your turret back down onto the scope to zero. Now you are ZERO`d to whatever your distance you sighted it in at. Its not rocket science.

MOA uses 1/4 MOA (roughly .25/.26” per click) per click and MIL is turning 1/10 MIL (roughly .36” per click). 1 MIL at 100yds is around 3.6” while 1 MOA is 1.047”. Because of this variance the MIL version is able to have more travel per rotation while the MOA has more precise adjustments but less overall travel. It would take the MOA version more revolutions of the turret to match the “distance” covered by the MIL turrets.

Think of it as a fine thread vs a course thread bolt. Moa is the fine thread mil is the coarse. If you turn a nut on each bolt one turn the course thread will move the nut a further distance, it will take less turns to thread the nut all the way down.

But we are turning the turret the same number of revolutions (360’) so the actual distance moved per revolution should be the same since there are fewer mils in a revolution compared to a minute of angle. At the end of the day it’s still 360 degrees. The clicks are more course on the milrad compared to the MOA turret.

@@rogercarlton4385 Go get a fine thread bolt and a course thread bolt. Put nuts on them. Make exactly one turn on each nut then measure the distance the nut moved vertically.

Yes

Sounds like you have the Razor HD LHT then. A few things to note here... First - That’s a hybrid hunting/shooting scope with the emphasis leaning toward hunting. In most hunting situations, the need to dial more than 11 Mils with modern calibers and rifles isn’t necessary. Even if most of what you’re doing is shooting and you plan to shoot at some really extended ranges a great deal of the time with that 20-30 MOA base, then simply zeroing at a greater distance than 100 will go a long way. Second - the LHT is a scope designed to have big riflescope features in a very lightweight package that would be right at home on a mountain hunting gun. The Rev stop zero stop is exceptionally light weight and to use a different style would add a very significant amount of weight to the scope up high which isn’t ideal for a number of reasons when it comes to hunters considering weight down to the ounces. 11 Mils is a fair bit of elevation adjustment - what cartridge are you shooting? What do you actually intend to do with it? If it’s really limiting - why don’t you just go without it? If you’re really dialing that much, maybe you don’t even need a zero stop since you’ll probably be well aware of how much you’ve dialed into the scope

Looks like you bought the wrong scope for your applications. Shoulda done more research

@@VortexOpticsUSAlove this explanation. Shows a lot of thought goes into each optic to cater to each shooters unique needs

elkbow I'm in the same boat as you, thought I could use total 110 MOA ad a 30 MOA base and I'm dialing my 22LR for ELR but not the case with zero stop. They didn't make that clear when it came out... My Bad !!!

Same here. I made wrong decision. I thought it will allow me to dial 80 moa or more. But only 47 moa. I need more than 80 moa.

@@tangseng7405 If you really need more than 80 MOA than the Strike Eagle is not the scope for you regardless.....

This isnt zero stop it is rev stop.

Not necessarily - if you are zeroing high in the elevation travel you will only have the adjustments that are left which may not be 2 full revolutions. A 20 MOA base would ensure that you are getting the most adjustment possible.

@@VortexOpticsUSA I put a 20 MOA on my300 RUM. With my 3-15-42 LHT I still get 11 mils of total 2 revolutions. Same as the 0 MOA base. Almost 2 complete revolutions. I removed the zero rev. Bad engineering in my opinion.

@@VortexOpticsUSA So if I understand this correctly. the use of the rev stop essentially negates the use of a MOA positive base? or at least your best option would be a 6moa base for the strike eagle. I would have thought the zero stop consumes "x" amount of adjustment on the bottom end, thus moving your zero further in the other direction by use of a base would be advantageous. I just took my Viper PST 2 in and swopped for a strike eagle. seems that may have been a mistake

Just had a look at the system. it is a simple/cheap solution that negates the use of a canted base (Except in the scenario where your zero is at such a setting as to run out of adjustment before the zero stop ring is engaged) basically, the turret cap does not change in height when rotated, the internal mech slides within the turret cap. there is a stationary pin in the scope body and a rotating pin in the turret cap, the zero stop ring has a track for the pin to travel in on both sides. thus the bottom pin can almost make a full revolution in its track and the same with the rotating pin, thus you end up with almost two full revolutions irrespective of where you are in the travel. it would have been better if the cap moved with the adjustments and was designed such that it clears the stop in on revolution and vice versa, re engages the track or stop when rotated toward zero. this is definitely disappointing. should know when something sounds to good to be true..........

Hey Michael - what seems to be going on?
