80y FAC accuracy

[COROVICD]

Ok, Ed W, so what would your groups at 80yards be?

cheers, dejan

Hello Dejan,

For FAC, I zero at 50yards in .22, 55 yards in .177 and then do real world drop offs for 60, 70, 80 & 90 yards for the outfit using a duplex reticle - I'm not keen on a cluttered view through the scope.

I don't benchrest, but use field techniques (standing, sitting, rested on bag/bipod etc).

If I think a shot is "on", I take it. Stillair saw some of the long range results last night.

I mostly go for side head shots, where possible.

HTH, Regards, Ed

There is a clash of mentalitiy here. You talk like intuitive guy, while I am quite numerically point-of-fact type (PIA in friendly circles). Can you hit a rabbit, on a regular basis in a still air, at 80y, in a head, with FAC .22 or only from time to time.

If conditions are right (wind, clear view etc, no guesswork), I'll take the shot, but I can't emphasize enough, conditions must be right. I'm taking live animals not paper targets. If I have a doubt, I don't take the shot.

A surprizing number of rabbits like my aftershave and insist on letting me get a little closer, though

HTH, Regards, Ed

Hi dejan,

I thought you might be on here asking some FAC questions after the other night!

You know my thoughts. The Rapid is lighter than the MK3. Remember your impressions from Tues night.

Get a Taylored job from Ben - you wont regret it mate.

BTW... Many thanks again.

Hi Kiriak,

I am asking the questions because your Rapid Mk2 was so good. Only thing is I would just to put some empirical figures behind it.

It was nice meeting you anyway.

cheers, dejan

Would love to agree.... only I have no idea what empirical means!!!!!
