What puzzles me is how a human target does not move for 10 seconds.........that is 2 miles away.
Also surprised that there are rifle scopes with which you can see 2 miles away.....
AND, with the incredible drop shown of the bullet trajectory, how would the target have even been in the visual field of the scope?
Need to call my close former Marine sniper friend in Texas who served in Desert Storm and other battlefields.......
....first rifleman training when I was 12, achieved “Expert” marksmanship badge in ROTC when 16, have my own 100 yd. range on my property - BUT, NOT a sniper.......
Scope base.
They make scope bases with preset MILs or MOAs built in, so the scope can be used at longer ranges without running out of turret adjustment.
The scope on my .308, for instance, is mounted with a 20-MOA base to allow me to reach out to 1,000 yards (one of these days). The first 20 MOA of adjustment is "built in"
That's what solves the problem of scope view versus muzzle inclination for long ranges.
March makes a scope that could do it, 80X, there are air gunners that use them for Field Target. The optical quality is stunning, the ~$3,700+ price is a deterrent though...
