  • In this video I discuss choosing the optic measurement system as well as reticle type that will best suit your shooting needs; MIL or MOA
    I give a overview of turret use as well as hold overs of the VPR and VHR reticles on Arken Optics SH4 Ge 2, EP5, EPl4 and LH4. Next segments will be examples of dialing in shots, using a ballistic application and getting more shots on target with your Arken Optic...or any brand for that matter.

    Next video should be interesting. I want to how you turn the elevation turret and have the bullet strike to the left.

    • @RugerGundog
      @RugerGundog  8 месяцев назад +1

      That is the plan. Will show you guys how you can land the shot on target same way with a turret spin or using the hold over. Will also show a few easy calculators that give you the numbers you need to use.

      I thought maybe he was holding the scope sideways or something! I definitely can’t wait to see how you get 2 mil elevation by holding 2 mil right lol I’m only playing with you, simple mistake. Still good info

      Awesome I'm glad to be of help. My goal is to keep the presentation very real and average guy and bring things to the subscribers right from the new owner up to the seasoned shooter.
      Next few episodes will piece it together a bit more.

    ok so I am a bit slow, but my top turret says up/down and not windage.. Assuming that is your top turret @ 4:59 as I can see a level attached that is pretty close to "level"?

    Just about to mount the new Arken SH-4Gen2 6x24x50mm VPR reticule on my AR-10. Went with Arkens 20moa one piece 34mm scope mounts. Hoping that can handle the recoil of 7.62 ok, as I really do not wanna make this already heavy scope more beefy with badger ordinance steel rings? I would love to see you use it on the range.

    Scopes for dummies
    The easiest to use is Mil-Rad
    If you can count to 10 (this is why metric is so easy compared to SAE )
    But I agree MOA I much more accurate at long distances
    But that's not

      Many people are so stuck with "inch" here in usa it works well for them as does the added precision of smaller adjustments per click.

      Military is by no means standard or gold standard anything. Civilian market is also much much larger usage.

      @@RugerGundog 90% of civilians don't know anything / are not interested / are "all talk and no walk" when it comes to precision rifle shooting at range, so the majority is still on the military side. Keep in mind, there is a whole world out there, not just US.
      Right now, if you want to be able to shot / operate at any time, in any location, MRAD is the standard. MOA is just something that US civilians use to feel different.
      If you still feel I am wrong, convince me with facts, not slogans.

    • @davegrimshaw7318

      In the UK we still mostly use MOA it's in the imperial measurement, as in inch,yard, miles.
      You can choose between 1/8th or 1/4 MOA, i use 1/8th for long range target work, out too 1200yrd.
      Hope this helps 👍

    • @wolfy07ro
      @wolfy07ro 2 месяца назад

      @@davegrimshaw7318 well, both work, but 1/10 MIL is enough to touch the target at 1200m.
      Apparently MOA looks simpler to some shooters (mostly from countries that use the imperial units of measure) because they do the transformation from MOA to inches. Once they realize that there is no need to do this conversion and learn to think directly in MOA or MILS, MOA advantages start dropping like flies.
      Having said that, if everyone around you uses one unit of measure, you better think long and hard before choosing something else. You don't want to end up having to do conversions from the corrections they give you in their unit of measure to your unit of measure.
