No indication of target sizes but based on the report, they’re HUGE. I would hope anyhting Anchutz could make those impacts on huge targets, even with atrocious shooter fundamentals.
Thank you for the reply. The target at 435y was an animal shaped steel and was fairly generous. That shot took over 20mils of elevation which would be like shooting a 6.5cr at around 1,500 yards. We've got a more challenging shot planned, so stay tuned.
Assuming dead on @ 50 yards 1. 100 yards, 1/8 click scope: turn up or down how many clicks? 2. 150 yards: turn up or down how many clicks? 3. 200 yards: how many clicks? 4. 400 yards: how many clicks?
Dear Creedmore, How come when I go to the official site of MDT. and I look at the ACC Chassis. I can't find the Anschutz 1710 inlet? I am also interested in this combination. Greetings Lari. From The Netherlands
John, We were using RWS R100. The ammo and the rifle make a huge difference in this process. We also spent time building and truing a profile in our ballistic app for this combination. As we walked the rounds out at distance, we trued our data as we went. We did this by measuring our elevation deviations from the called value within the reticle of our optic, we adjusted, then went to the next distance and repeated the process. Ultimately making contact repeatedly at 435yards. Thanks for the questions. Wayne
Brad, thanks for the questions. The optic is an Element Optics Titan 5-25x56 FFP with the APR-2D reticle. The rail is the stock 1771/81 rail. It is a flat 0 MOA rail. We had a quick turnaround time for this shoot and this was the only rail we had in stock at the time. Since we had a flat rail, and it's a pretty far distance, we ran out of elevation at 435y and had to hold 10mils in the reticle. The Titan 5-25x made that pretty easy though. Going forward, we'll be most likely putting a 20 MOA rail on this rifle. Wayne
James, good question. We setup a ballistic profile using the Shooter application on iPhone. Normally you would use a chronograph to obtain muzzle velocity, and use the ballistic coefficient published by the ammunition manufacturer. By entering this information into the ballistics app, along with a few other pieces of data, you can select your distance and the app will provide the elevation adjustment. We also performed a process called "truing". As we shot each distance, we went back into the ballistic app and made adjustments based on our actual impact versus what we had dialed. There is a little more to it, but this is the basic process we followed. Thank you, Wayne
Good shooting, but was size target were you shooting?

Looks fun! 😊
What brand of ammo you are using 👍
We were using RWS R100 that day at the range.
What ammunition were those shots made with? My experience is that ammunition is alot of the game beyond 100 yards

What optic is that and did you put any additional MOA on the rail?

Sooooooooo, tell me about the rifle.
I’ve asked numerous gunsmiths here is Aus and they have stated you can’t fit a Annie 1710 into an mdt 🤷♂️
Anschutz and MDT have worked together to make it possible with a modified stock. We have these available on our website.
How do you know how to adjust your scope for different distances
