I shot one once.......it was the most nervous I ever was behind a trigger even though I knew I would be just fine. LOL
I'd be curious how you used the mil-dots to get the most out of that cartridge with the fixed 10X. Are most guys who shoot them using the MD or are they adjusting with turrets? With the kind of range potential you can get with that monster 10X almost seems like a handicap.
But what do I know, the full magazine on that thing probably weighs more than my varmint rifle. LOL
Sorta depends what you are used to. I use the dots mostly to range the target and then adjust turrets. But if you have incoming fire (not really an issue with me) I know some guys who are pretty quick with the Mils.
I've gotten pretty used to a fixed 10x, even up close. I've taken my Barrett all the way out to 800m, but I've trained with some guys who come close to my groups all the way out to 1600m. There is some real talent out there.
For bolts I pretty much go fixed power 8x or 10x, for semis I prefer to use a variable, usually a 3-9x40.
