Springfield Armory Rifle Scopes
Why does my Springfield Armory 6.5x20x56 lighted mil dot rifle scope use 7.5 moa per rotation?
I've had this scope for quite some time and my only complaint is using the stadia lines for making adjustments. Having 7.5 MOA's of adjustment per rotation make is difficult to quickly make large adjustments. Does anyone have real-time experience using this scope?
You have to ask?
Ummm. You use the mil dots for large instant adjustments - by doing mental calculatons - so you can send rounds at an enemy on the fly.
You can calibrate the dots - then you refer to your dope (Data Of Personal Experience) and add in a few clicks or take out a few clicks on the upper turret as needed.
Example. You zero at 200 yards. 300yds is one dot up - and +1 click on the turret. 400yds is two dots up and -2 clicks on the upper turret. The trick is to spend 10-16 hours at the range and dial in the dots and turret settings. You will have different dope for different bullet styles and loads. Before you leave home you look up the dope on the bullet - write out a truth table - and with wide clear tape adhere it to the side of your rifle for quick reference.
Sounds like you are using the scope like a standard target scope - where you dial it all the way up and down for the correct distance and shoot the crosshairs dead on.
The mildot system was specifically designed to avoid having to deal with the scope like you would a target scope above. Since you are shooting against an enemy - the dots are designed to quickly estimate distance and windage and toss an accurate round at the enemy.
Mildot scopes are not much fun - they actually suck out loud on the target range and hunting. The dots take up allot of image area - and unless you are on a CERT, SWAT or military team - not so useful at all on a normal target - becasue you loose that center dot inside the target black. This makes the rifle somewhat inaccurate at distances longer than 200 yards and frustrates alot of folks. But everyone wants them because they are tacticool.
Sounds like you need to sell this and get a standard crosshair scope with decent target turrets. With a real set of fine crosshairs you can call what part of the X-Ring your bullet is going to hit - not fire and hope it hits someplace inside the 9 ring.
