But I just got this scope so I haven’t put it through the paces yet.This scope is included in the best Schmidt and bender hunting scope list for its versatility and precision. On paper zero at 125ish puts the 2 mil dot at 500 yards and the 1 mil dot around 325, close enough to 300 for me. Gotcha, thanks! I like dots for holdover. Re: Any experience with the schmidt-bender precision hunter 3-12 At least that is my take on the scope but as I said I have not put that in practice. The "Precision" in the name comes from being able to dial in fine adjustment for precise placement of the bullet rather than the course aiming option of using the mildots only. Then go to the next mil dot and repeat by looking at your come-up chart for the 2nd mil dot, and so on. Now past 500 yards you could use the 1st mil dot and look at your come-up chart that you have taped on your butt stock for that dot and then dial again until you run out of adjustment. So lets say you use the crosshair zeroed at 200 yards and dial the scope it will only get you to around 500 yards with most cartridges. When I say 3.2 mils I am talking about the dial. My reticle alone is 5 mils.ĥ mils gets a 7 Mashburn with 160 Accubonds to 875 yards without moving the turret yet. I’ve heard that and wondered if other people are talking about the same reticle as mine. I have only used mine as a set and forget scope so I cannot attest to the accuracy of the adjustments other than when I zero the scope it moves exactly the graduations dialed, which makes for a pleasant experience compared to say a Leupold.
I had to use Burris Signature rings with the offset inserts to zero the scope and still have enough vertical left to go 500 yards with a 7mm Rem Mag. Of course with the mil dot reticle you can go much farther using both the mil dots and come-ups for each mil graduation. Now 500 to 600 yards is all that most anyone would normally need for hunting, therefore the name "Precision Hunter". As you may know the Precision Hunter is the one that only has around 3.2 mils (around 11.5 MOA) of vertical adjustment which will only get you to 500 to 600 yards even with a flat shooting rifle and 200 yard zero.
