[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2245984, member: 119220"] i was using a 10x Unertl Mil dot for ranging tgt in the corps late 90’s - early 2000’s. We didnt have LRF’s unless we came out of pocket for them ourselves and back then on .mil pay you’d be lucky if you were able to range out to 700 with one. Matter of fact instil have the one I carried in Afghan back in 04. 1000…. Pfft, be lucky to get 700 out of it. Now you can spend under $500 and buy a Sig Kilo that will get you to a mile [ATTACH type="full"]286792[/ATTACH] Depending on the size of the target your trying Mil, once you get I to 800+, if You’re off by a 1/10 of a mil you’re range can be off upwards of 100 yards and that’s if you have the exact dimension of the target your milling. One thing to Mil a stationary Target, Whole different ball game trying to Mil a target at distance when it’s moving and you’re “estimating” it’s size affordable LRF’s and Kestrels are easy to find these days. Not really any excuse not to have one. Mission essential pieces kit as far as I’m concerned. [/QUOTE]
