[QUOTE="tacomHQ, post: 2951577, member: 67159"] Using a 750gr A-Max at 3280 (published data for the Lord of the Horizon) approximately 70mils+ of elevation is needed. Using the Night Force pictured and 30mil of travel (27 useable??) a 40mil base is needed with its corresponding 3000+mil zero (using a 0m calculation vs drop). Minimum-with everything still set on its "edge". You can apply all kinds of combinations of reticle hold, base, dialing etc.. to get to a 2.36mile shot. Or an optic would be required as an adder. From the 3000m value to the 4000m value another 40mil is needed for elevation. No matter what- what it does show is the importance of long range interdiction. While some might argue the guy "ducked" after the shot, he did appear to move away under his own power- the Russians stopped what they were doing. Stopping the enemy from executing a plan is nearly just as important (if not more) as the kill itself. [/QUOTE]
