Sandy;
I guess you didn't read the previous post from DOC... I am already vetted here BUT....since you want to call me out to the bear pit and play...lets play...
You stated the following scenerio:
"Your weapon is an M40 A5/R5. You have a 26 inch long Bull barrelled rifle with a 1/11" twist. You have a Timney trigger set at 2.5 lbs. Your brass is a once fired
M118LR brass with a Magnum primer. You have 45 grains of Varget. You are seated with a 175 grain Sierra Match King (seating depth does not matter).
Your Optic is a Leupold Mark IV with 80 clicks of MOA adjustment all around. You are seated on a Seekins Precision base with an already canted 20 MOA base. You are perched on a rock at 549 meters with an elevation offset of 120 M below you. You are shooting over desert terrain and scrub. Ambient air temperature is a mild 75 degrees F with a relative humidity of 33%. Barometric pressure is 29.92 and rising. "
I like the weapon selection, trigger, brass, powder, and round, since you only mentioned the Leupold Mark IV , I assumed it would be the Leupold MK4 M3 Scope w/USMC Mil-Dot reticle, 10X, because after all nothing but the finest for this op right??? you are harsh though... Im perched on a rock with not so much at a butt pack to rest my rifle on...Its a good thing that I had a spare Harris Bipod in my cargo pocket... oh but wait...Im all set up but What the Hell am I shooting at?
? hmmm Light bulb......hince......... I have no target Identified at the time of your request.... I do not need to worry about any DOPE......sorry about your luck but say goodbye and go play elsewhere.....
