[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 547085, member: 30902"] Are you talking aout this target? [IMG]http://www.pistoleer.com/targets/pics/IBS1000BR.gif[/IMG] If so anyone that can't pick out the blue 9/10 ring with even a good quality 10x scope doesn't need to be shooting beyond 300 yards without glasses and a spotter. It's a 42x42" target the center blue makes up roughly 1/3 of the width of the target so it's around 11-14" in diameter... . No you wont' be able to count the numbers or maybe even distinguish the center white portion of the 10 Ring but there's no reason a decent shooter couldn't center up and punch it with sub MOA accuracy if the rifle is capable of it. The number of cantelope and watermelon sized targets we've destroyed at a 1,000yds with M1 and M4 Leupolds with no greater magnification than 16X would fill many a freight train. Anyone who's ever worked with Army, Marine, or even Air Force snipers for a day or two can attest to that. You don't have to be able to count the numbers or see what color their eyes are to center the target and kill it. I realize bench rest competition is a different game, but bench rest shooting is not generally the subject here. [/QUOTE]
