Hi everyone,

 

I got the above named scope, it was second hand so no manual and I have it fitted to my aa s510 carbine using air arms .177 diablo 4 52 pellets, Its a mill dot reticle.

 

I have no manual and cannot get hold of one and cant find any info on what magnification to what the true mil dot is.

 

I prefer to shoot at 10x over ranges from 20 to 60 yards but what I want to know is this, can anyone tell me what the distance to each dot represents? I have it zeroed in at 40 yards and am finding thigs difficult working out shooting over or under the zero line, can anyone help.

One other thing, I hav been told I can use the mil dot for range as well, how do I do that?, been told I need to know what the true magnification is to find that out lol, now even more confused lol

ive got a mil dot scope and i just guess! put as many rounds down it, at as many different ranges as poss, and you'll soon get used to it, its never gonna work perfectly to "the manual" anyway is it?! i wait to be proved wrong! im looking forward to the respose because i probably dont use mine right either!!

Cheers

It's not quite that simple if you want to be accurate, you will need to know the weight of the pellet, it's ballistic coefficient, the exact power it develops, height of scope above barrel, etc......

 

...talk to Deben....

they will give you all the info you want on the scope!!!

 

However...a bit of trial and error on a range often works wonders!!!!

Thanks for reply, I will just have to get out in the garden and put targets up from 20 to 60 metres and try to figure it out. I suppose if I then alter scope mag it will all need doing again lol. The reason I need to get this right is that I want clean kills and do not want to cause suffuring buy a badly placed shot, I guess its a case of practice practice practice.

i dunno if changing the magnification does change where the shots going to go, i use mine on 9x most of the time, but it works fine on 3x for the ratting in the barns, also, a mate thinks that changing the focus ( the ranged bit on the front of the scope) changes your elevation?! i dont think this is true but again, i wait to be proved wrong!

Sorry mate! just stick to a magnification that suits you, and put as many shots as poss into paper before you tackle the bunnies!! oh and 60metres is a bit far unless your on FAC.

 

sorry for the confusion, you'll get used to it!
