Even the best aiming device loses control of the bullet the moment the bullet leaves the end of the barrel.

Hitting long distance targets is not so much a function of aiming, rather reading the winds and distances.

And these magical scopes don’t even attempt to help you with your wind call.

Definitely overkill and way too much homework for a .223. I like my guns all analog.

Still true, but tech has been pushing that further back. The CheyTac .408 and Barrett .416 stay supersonic out to 2000yds. TOF, drift, and drop are significantly reduced. If the rail gun concept is ever made man portable, it’ll be point and shoot.
