Need to know what power that mil-ing targets needs to happen

Simply put, the Mil-Dot is a way to estimate range with the scopes reticle. This type of reticle was developed for military applications. The space between the dot centers is equal to one milliradian (Mil). hence the name mil-dot. One Mil equals 3.6" inches at 100 yards, or 36" at 1,000 yards. To use this system effectively you must know the size of the target. For instance most people are an average of 6 feet tall or 2 yards. The formula used for determining range to the target is (size of target x 1000 divided by number of mils the target covers). Hope this helps FixYa up.

HOW CAN I GET THE FRONT HOOD OFF OF MY BARSKA RIFE SCOPE.

This happens a lot during bore sighting, - no shock to the scope to jar the cross hairs. So take your screwdriver and use the handle - rap the scope or better just tap it. Not hard enough to bend/dent it but jar it so things can move if need to.

Liz First Did Medicare buy MIL's chair? If they did contact me @ [email protected] and I'll give you more info. Now after that long the tires get brittle and usually need replacement. You can contact the provider where MIL got her chair and have them get the caster wheels for the chair. Hope this helps

Sounds like somebody took your scope apart and forgot something. You can remove the rear of the scope, but you might want to send it back to the factory. Some scopes are filled with nitrogen to stop them from fogging up, But maybe only the front part. Take the eye piece off, you should be able to get to the cross hair unit, it should come out in one piece, find out why it spins, might be missing a washer, I have replaced the cross hairs on scopes before with spider webs, I tried a dolls hair once, I thought it was thin enough, .002 ",, It looked like a rope inside there when I got it back together. Good luck, let us know what happens.

well a fixed scope will be bang on target at 100yds only but off a bit at 50yds a paralex scope will be bang on target what ever the range is as the paralex puts the range right every time wether its a verible or not so if i were you i would go for the paralex scope
and i also do bench rest shooting, with .22,,,357,,,22/250,,,303...7.62/308,,,
up to 1200mtrs!

are you trying to zero it, or are you trying to figure out the estimating ranges, if so can you please specify better?

1. width or height ( in inches ) x 25.4 divided by number of the mils of the target as seen in the M3A = range in meters
OR
2. height in meters X 1000 /divided by the mil size of the target = range in meters.

No, the cross hairs remain fixed. The zoom serves only to magnify the field of view.

Here's what you need to know about Mil Dots and rangefinding.

When you look through the scope you should see 5 mil dots on each axis, your scope may have broad lines taking place of the 5th mil dot if it is a "modified" mil dot scope. For measuring purposes, 1 mil is the distance from the center of one dot to the center of the one directly above or below it. 3/4 of a mil is the distance from the top of one dot to the bottom of the one above it, or the "space in between dots". 1/4 mil comprises a single dot, the space between the top of one dot and the bottom of that same dot.

A quick calculation is Size of Target (In Yards) x 1000 / Size of target in mils = Range in Yards

Miliradian or "Mil" is an angular unit of measure, so if you were shooting at 1000 yards and moved up 1 miliradian that would be one inch impact moved up.


Anyway lets say you have a 30" target and we need to find the range... using your scope you place the bottom of the target at the CENTER of a mil dot and count how many mils up, good estimation is key... I'll draw a little text diagram, an asterisk * will be the target top and bottom, and parentheses () will be a mill dot
( * )--------(  )-----*---(  )
Now lets assume the asterisk on the left is the bottom of your target and the one on the right is the top, I put Ten Hyphens in between each dot so if you count from the left you should get about 1.6 Mils. Its real easy to do it in your head, you already know two whole dots is one mil so you just have to estimate whats to the right (or top if you were looking down a scope).

So we know the target is 30" and we have a Mil Reading of 1.6
30/36= .833 so 30" is .833 Yards

So now we can use the equation .833 x 1000 / 1.6 = 520.6 Yards is the distance of the target


Now you can also use Mil dots to do hold over for when the target moves or for wind and elevation but that gets extremely complicated.

There are many books and websites to confirm what I've said here, but the best way is to go out to your range and talk to some long range shooters and show them your rifle/scope etc and get hands on help.

These people can find a lot of hard to find parts. I know Inglis is owned by Whirlpool now, but dont know the age of yours, or how long ago this happened. Door switches were pretty much the same, so it shouldnt be to hard to find what you need. Let me know if you need any further help. Jim
