Hi Mark and Sam - great video! I particularly liked the reticles overlaid on the splash - really brought the point home . Best wishes
Cheers Willsy, Thanks
Love this channel. Deserve a lot more subscribers. I get a sense of your neutrality in the videos..the "this works for us" vibe. Keep up the good work. A playlist on all things scope/retitcles/magnification/ffp vs sfp/ etc ... to get them in one place for people looking to invest in a scope... I'd watch 'em all! I like how you illustrated how distracting the busy reticles can be. I had a similar instinct for a clean reticle and you helped me be more certain that is what I want.
Thanks Man, Cheers
Agree.
Ha, the pause before "dogma" made me laugh. Great stuff, always wondered what the super busy ones like the horus were for. Thanks.
Lol, Thanks Man, Cheers
That Horus, to much, I couldn’t see the forest for the trees just to much stuff
Every tool has its application.
Keep up the great videos. I’ve learned so much from your channel. I just picked up my first entry level ULR .50bmg.
Thanks Man, Cheers
Thanks for all the information you share with us. Keep it coming. 👍🙂
Cheers Thanks Man
Great educational piece. I really am enjoying your channel. Have been a pistol shooter for many years and had a work mate take me to a 1000 yard range before lockdown. What a blast hitting 3 out of 5 with his .284 - I know I have the bug for LR shooting with all the videos I now watch of you both. Keep up the good work. Cheers from an Aussie now residing in NZ.
Thanks Michael, glad you like them, Cheers
You already know how I feel about you guys and I think the world of you guys. Great video again.
Thanks Otis, great to see you here too, Cheers
Love your videos. Just found you guys and I am still learning what this all means. Thanks for helping me along!!!
Cheers
I love the mp8 in the IOR it's simple and clean with all the hold over I need
They are, Cheers
Thanks Mark for another awesome video
Thanks Jeff, Cheers
I’m with you on a clean scope. Many are too busy. I just shot a 130metre shot with my .22 airgun using things I’ve learnt from watching you.(thank you).
Cheers Jay, Thanks.
Great video i loved the way you explained everything.
Thanks Man, Cheers
Great video Mark very easily understood thank you Steve
Thanks Steve, Cheers
Always a pleasure watching and soaking in much to my need. Wish I had the extra money to help support the channel but 6 kids kinda take every penny. Thank you for all the info you always put out.
Thanks Jared, glad you like, Cheers
Thank you Gave me some good things to think about.
Cheers
Spot on, different reticles for different applications....I doing 1200 yds max.
Thanks Rusty, Cheers
Reticles, really good idea ! Cheers
Cheers
Thanks Mark! Good stuff... 🍻
Cheers
Great video. I went from a sfp mil-dot to a ffp grid a few years ago and have not looked back. Either coyotes or ground squirrels at various distances required the switch for less math. I prefer to not touch the dials and use hold overs. My personal "range" is out to about 1 mile off the porch of our house, and my varmint and predator territory is from 0-2.5 miles in the hill country. Dialing up/down would take too much time on a hilltop trying to zap a yote. With all the options out there I was able to find a reticle that served my daily needs
Again Great video. You are a wealth of knowledge. 🍻from 🇺🇸
Thanks Man, glad you liked, Cheers
Nice overview. Having used a duplex for 40 years, they work fine for me, but I am considering a mil-dot for a new rifle.
Thanks Man, Cheers
The paperwork for my new rifle is ready but I can’t pick it up because of the 🦠 so I can’t get ammo. Your videos cheer me up. Thank you.
Cheers
Great video thanks
Cheers
Explained well, practical...
Cheers
Great video. My next scope will have a simple German #4 reticle.
Cheers
Great job on demo .. one tip I’ve learned as I got older and eyes age mildots work better than small lines that run together.. also mildots are fastest to acquire 👊🏻
Thanks Man, Cheers
Bardzo ciekawy i pomocny materiał 👍
Pozdrowienia z Polski 😉
Cheers
I like a ffp Christmas tree reticle and have a few different optics I use for hunting but I use those same rifles for target shooting and playing at range also nothing like yall but a thousand yards and in. Now one thing I learned is they have to be illuminated otherwise you cant see the reticle in low light. I think if I was doing what you do I would definitely go with a cleaner reticle like you're talking about for the same reasons the more you can see the easier you can spot your own impacts... great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Cheers
Really like this video. There are a jungle of scopes and reticles out there but few really nice video's about it. Personally I find the German #1 works pretty well for hunting situations. Unfortunately it's difficult to find scopes with a fine German #1 today. But for long range It's definitely the NF MOA-T in Sfp.
Cheers mate!👍
Thanks Man, Cheers
I'm fairly new to using scopes and red dots. This video has made it very clear as to understanding. The only question I have left is where to line up on reticle to assure ill be on the bullseye or just outside at different distances after zeroing at 25 m.
For rifles, we zero at 100 meters or yards and work from there, if you are air rifles, or hand guns, maybe ask those guys, Cheers
Good stuff as usual. I prefer simple duplex out to 300 yards. Out to 600 a simple 3 hash mark(elevation)with 2 hash mark
(windage) is all I need. I don’t like busy reticles either. And 2nd focal plane good enough. Will try a plain milliradian reticle for 700 to 1000(FFP). The ranging capability (when knowing target size), seems interesting. I suppose it could also be used as a simple BDC as well; when you learn your cartridge drops and wind. Always a good source of practical information that Sam provides.
And always explained in an easy to understand manner. Thanks Sam! This will certainly help when one is deciding on a scope.
Cheers
👍👍👍 Excellent Again Thx
Cheers
I watch alot of your videos and I appreciate what you do as it has changed the way I shoot...Im not a polo shirt guy but if you did T's let me know
Thanks Man, Cheers
I'm halfway through the video and I have to pause and comment. This subject is/can be much more complicated than can be covered in a few minutes of video. I applaud you for making this effort and doing an OK job so far but you could probably write a 500 page book on the subject without repeating anything. When can I expect the first edition? Ok... back to the video...
Lol, well at least OK, glad you like, Cheers
I love it
Cheers
Top info here. I am like you in that i like clean ret. Ive got a bdc in both my main rufles and in honesty i never use them. If its a ling shot i dial if its within 300m or so i simply aim at the top of the animal or target.
I wish id gone with a duplex
Thanks John
You two are a GREAT team, keep it going forever! By the way, my favorite scope when shooting nigh time professionally for foxes, was the old Kahles 8x50... that was few years ago?
Thanks Tom, yes they have some good scopes, Cheers
Yes I like a more simple reticle.. or a nice fine Horus type.. as long as it's fine and mil based.. not those busy reticle.
Cheers
Great video mate, glad to see a couple of adds at the start too 👌
My favourite reticles at the moment are the Nightforce Mil C F2, Nightforce MOART and Kahles MSR 👌
Thanks Tony, Cheers
Floating dot Christmas tree by athlon is nice.
Cheers
Great video! Do you have a reticle in your spotting scope to help with giving calls? Thanks
No we do not, not needed for our process, Cheers
Great video! I run the only reticle available in the Valdada Recon G2, The MP8 X1 Extreme in moa. It does the job well.
Cheers
Hey Mark&Sam great video as usual
👍👍👏👏.
Just letting you know they put ads on this vid........
Cheers Man, thanks
Sam is the best!
Cheers
Great video as always. On another note do you have any updates on the monopod you purchased?
Hi Bob, ah well I try not to use them, they are not good at the stuff we do, as explained in the video we did on them, OK at some other stuff, just not much for our stuff, Cheers
@@markandsamafterwork Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.
Cheers
My favorite hunting reticles are German #1's and German #4's.
I like 3-9's on my 22's with FCH and Duplex reticles for dimes at 100yds, too much fun!
I realize, however, that there's one thing that I don't have to worry about too much at 100yds and that's wind. Bullet drop is simple because graviy is a constant but understanding the wind currents from your favorite ridge to those fields, pure magic!
Enjoyed the explanation of the Christmas tree reticles. Take care and be safe!
Thanks Paul, Cheers
I have a question for you I am mounting the night force beast 5 to25 on my Remington 700 target tactical 308 and I see that it has 120 minutes of elevation the night force scope mount has 20 Moa the pic rail I’m looking at has 40 moa for 60 total. Is that too much? Or would it be better to go 20 on the mount and 20 on the rail for 40 total
60 should be good, here czcams.com/video/dQQ88hGCfXU/video.html Cheers
👍💯
Cheers
Makes me wonder if a more complicated reticle might be better for beginners. With more expertise one can read a simpler scope with more confidence. I'm a beginner and love the ability to hold accurately with with a million hash marks.
Cheers
Mark have you done any courses or is all your knowledge self taught. Amazing how much you know. Also it was awesome actually meeting you and Sam (albeit briefly) at the checkpoint at The Lakes the other day. I was going to offer to buy you both a coffee when you came back through but missed you as I was briefing another of my colleagues.
Hi Dawesy, great to meet you too, albeit the circumstances, lol, and well mainly self taught, have also read and studied, but no lessons or training, it is why my logic is maybe a little out side the box from what some would think to be correct, glad you like our stuff, Cheers and all the best.
MarkandSam AfterWork Either way you are a wealth of knowledge and from what I have seen over the years you are correct with what you say. On another note I will be back there running the check point from about 1500 to 2300 this Tuesday. If you are in the area swing by and I’ll grab you that coffee.
Thanks Dawesy, Cheers and all the best.
First... 😁
Cheers
