Looking for 223

[Nash B.]

MOA and (milli)radians are units of angle. They can't be converted to units of distance. They can be used to calculate distance, though.

I can't copy and paste links on my phone but there is a good write up on accurate shooter .com. Leupold scopes with M1 turrets are one that is set at 1" per 4 clicks at 100 yards or shooters MOA, that's one of the main scopes that come to mind, US Optics also makes one too.

So it the majority of scopes is actually two models? Lol

I have a Remington Model 700 SPS 22-250. I'll take 450. See pics in my profile. Sorry scope stays, but the rings can go (they're 30mm BTW). I'll be in your neck of the woods possibly this Friday, for sure Saturday in the late PM.

Man, that is the exact 22-250 that I was thinking about if I wasnt able to find the right 223. I'll have to keep this in mind.

Edit: Actually I think its the 7 model, not the 700. I'll have to go back and check my notes

Cabelas is one of the most expensive places to buy guns. Or was the link just to show the model of gun?

I have only got one gun there and it was on sale. Just an idea of what to look for.

I noted that as well. Usually 100 bucks over. But academy has been in very short supply. I think the scare of another term with Obama is starting a ripple effect again

just lay a bag of ice across the barrel....lol. J/K

I want something with 300 yard accuracy.

Should you look into a different caliber for hunting at 300 yards?

Sweet, maybe I can sell my AR for 2-3K when it happens again.

Most are sold or labeled as MOA but testing will show they are actually in IPHY(inches). Those two are the most commonly sold as having adjustments in inches, although the Leupold is labeled as an MOA adjustment. To test I like to sight in at 100yrds ( verified via a rangefinder) then using a large piece of paper shoot one group then come up 20MOA if adjustments are in true MOA then group should be spaced 10.5" ( actually 10.47") apart if in inches only 10" will separate the two. To the average shooter or hunter this is no issue but if any kind of long range shooting is in the future it can matter greatly depending on how forgiving your caliber round is, it can be the difference in a first round hit and a miss. I've had several that were off and currently still have two a Bushnell 3200 and 4200 also had a Leupy Vari-X III tactical (basically a MK4 before the MK4 lineup with black ring and all) all were in inches instead of MOA like their respected mauals said. My NF however is spot on and should be for the cost, my MK4 with 1/20mil adjustments is spot on as well.

You better do it before the election. Once he is voted out, "I think" it will be over.

No. The 223 is known for 5/6 hundred yard shooting as well as the 22-250. Im not up on the .22's, but I think they are pretty long range as well. All are the same bullet with bigger casings/powder as you go up.
