Idea for a video that gets overlooked: Time. It would be nice to see someone talk about the time it takes to get into a long range shooting position and make a quality shot. This is one area I think that can really set systems apart. I know systems for shooting positions are set for different things, but it would be nice for someone to compare difference in equipment and technique. Example would be all the top end equipment that is unloaded at the range from a truck 20' away vs carrying everything in a pack and have a shooting position ready in under 30 seconds.

Yes, it would be nice to see someone make a video on the tradeoffs. Weights is another thing to consider. I do a bit of hunting and what I'm doing determines what I take. Sometimes a simple traditional hunting rifle with shooting sticks is good enough. Other times it is the whole load out: AR, rangefinder, bipod, shooting mat, anemometer.

Don't forget that you can combine dialing and holding. It's useful when you want to use maximum magnification, where much of the reticle will not be visible. If your dope calls for 8 mils but you can only see the 4 mil stadia line, you could dial in 5 mils and use the 3 mil stadia line to hold.

What would be the advantage of this 'combining' method over just dialing in the full amount? If you are dialing (have the time and trust your scope) anyways, why not take the extra split second to turn the dial little more to full amount and keep things simple? Other than running out of scope adjustment at extreme distances...

@@michaeldoe4805 Almost always end up combining dial and hold particularly in active wind. In teams, the spotter and shooter apply calculated correction to scope, then spotter adds small hold corrections as conditions change. It allows rapid adaptation and precision at the same time. As an individual shooter you get the opportunity to combine both jobs.

Great video once again! I want to point out again that your mechanical offset from your rangefinder zero and your scope zero doesn't change with distance. You are zeroing the rangefinder 3 inches up from your scope zero at 100 yards. 3 inch offset will not change at distance. When you range at distance there is no need to hold 0.8 under the target. The offset will only be 3 inches.

Great video and good comparison between the two elevation adjustments systems . i sometimes combine the two systems when i shoot long range with my .308 and dialing the complete distance is not an option due to not enough elevation adjustments on my scope ,for example : i shoot @ 1350 m i dial an +-Mrad less than my max adjustment and adjust the rest with my reticle . So i can still make fine adjustments with my turrets and can use the full mrad intervals of my reticle 👍

In NRA Long-Range Competition I get the best scores initially dialing for distance and perceived wind. This is the starting zero. Then the first shot is corrected off the shot called right-in-there by dialing windage and elevation controls again. This is called the zero used. From there, wind will be appraised for each shot and favored accordingly in MOA. If shots recorded in my score book begin to show a trend then I will readjust both windage and elevation controls At the end of the match I account for the correct wind favor and then write down the corrected elevation adjustment and windage adjustment controls to a no-wind condition. This technique has resulted in earning the American High Power Rifleman Award in Long-Range.

Good stuff. You touch upon the pros and cons which is great for sharing knowledge. I agree with MR Sabong - dial when you have the time hold when you don't. An other pro by dialing may be - pending personel preference and practice - that if your first shot miss it may be easier for you to spot and correct your off-set hold and windage by just dragging the reticle the spotted off-set of impact using the reference from the center of the cross hair and not your initial hold/windage.

MOA is around 1 inch more “precise” @ 1000 yards. 1 turret click @ 1000 yards on an minute scope moves the reticle 2.6” vs the mil-radian scope, where 1 click of the turret moves the reticle 3.6” at 1000 yards. They’re ultimately the same. Just different systems of angular measurement. A simple conversion is all it takes to translate between the two.

Took a couple buddies out to easter wa to try some long range stuff. Had to compress a couple days of LR instruction into maybe ten minutes of instruction. I did all the fancy ballistics work and just dialed elevation and gave a fast run down of wind calling and they were hitting 1100 yards with no issue. They asked about my reticle (h59) and I told them it's a lot easier to dial for elevatio n and hold for wind for a first timer. Worked out pretty good and they had a lot of fun.

Really enjoyed the video, very useful to newer shooters. There is one major thing you failed to mention though. There are tons of 2nd focal plane scopes being used out there. You must be dialed all the way up on power to make the reticle accurate. This isn't the case with ffp. I bought 3 nightforce sfp scopes myself for hunting and it would cost too much to switch over. This fact is almost never mentioned in videos or by manufacturers. I read about it years ago and it saved lots of bad shots on game. Thanks again for the great video!

How to use them. Why are they important? Most of my long distance applications are in the competition world, so getting on target quickly is important to me. It has crossover applications for hunting varmints etc - getting on a target quickly, ranging and shooting that target quickly, are great skills to develop. Thanks!

I agree that with the impact 4000 it is fast to laser and hold over. I also agree that a well rounded rifleman should be proficient at both. You are very good at hold over. I need to practice it more But as a competitive long range shooter I see everyone dial in competition. Although fast it’s less counter intuitive on the clock. Especially with multiple target distances. And your argument that a scope has error just doesn’t hold water these days. Most scopes are 98% tracking. Your NF scopes track perfect. And if you look into reticle calibration they are definitely set to a given distance. So I guess it depends on the situation. Sniper match/ hunting with the laser range finder yeah I can see it.

Great video! On the 1215 target, what was the elevation if you didn't hold under while ranging? With the parallel zero, you don't need to hold under. My guess is that the dope from the Impact would have been more accurate to the drop you observed. The laser was hitting the ground in front of the target returning a shorter distance. This is minor, but holding under also introduces error into shot angle measured by the Impact 4000.
