[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2834392, member: 3230"] You didn't specify the MV but judging from the fact you need 61.5 MOA tells me the TOF is probably approaching or exceeding 2 seconds; my Lapau takes 18.5 at 910 @8750 and the TOF is well over 1 second. In the West, it is a pretty rare wind that doesn't change over a 2 second period (just hold up a Kestrel). Wind is what causes you to miss at LR and something that takes 61.5 MOA [USER=69648]@1000 yards[/USER] is going to have a huge hang time. I am not arguing these rifles cannot shoot tight groups, but even a Lapua is not a sure thing at 800 in a gusting wind, which is what I see just about every day past 10 am. Hit today at 910 - 1/2 MOA right and a few inches high but wind was maybe 1-2 mph. In an hour or two when the wind picks up I will shoot at 760, which is infinitely harder than 910 in little or no wind. [/QUOTE]
