How Much Zoom Do You Need for Long-Range Rifles?

Get the Vortex from the video here; amzn.to/2BqnXJB a great value with a great warranty. I have a much higher quality video discussing scope zoom comparisons at long range with no music and better audio and less shaky footage here, please watch if you don’t like the quality of this video - Scope Zoom Compared at 1 mile, 1,000 and 500 Yards!   • Scope Zoom Compared at 1 mile, 1,000 ...   🇺🇸Get 10% off your order of ADG Brass using code WDS10 during checkout! atlasdg.com/ Have you ever wondered what it’s like to look at a target at 1,000 Yards? It seems so small and far away how could anyone even see it? Well luckily we have some excellent optics available these days but the question is, How much Zoom will I need? It is a great question and I get asked all the time how much I use when going beyond 1,000 Yards and the truth is I really don’t need that much. One thing to keep in mind is zooming in does not make the picture clearer, you can just see the objects easier. I set some targets at 500 Yards and demonstrate different levels of zoom at that distance with the vortex Viper PST 6-24 then we back out to 1,000 Yards to take a look at some really far, small targets. The equivalent of a 1.4” circle at 100 Yards the 14” plates at 1,000 seem impossible to see let alone hit the target! But the biggest reason I run high magnification scopes is to better spot dust trace from bullet impacts that far out. Any questions feel free to ask!
