ISSUE 32OFFGRIDWEB.COMRegarding the efficacy of the round at that range? For
small game or harassing fire it should be A-OK. Also, re-
member that ideally you'd have someone else on the team
with a larger caliber better suited for extended ranges.
Once you find a loading your individual rifle likes, it’s
just a matter of math to calculate your ballistic drops. The
Vortex Optics Viper PST 1-6x24mm optic makes dialing or
holding your drops a snap, allowing for fast engagement
even at ranges once unheard of for .22LR. While there’s
a tendency for many to over-scope, believing that more
magnification is always better (it’s not), 6-power is more
than enough for the ranges we’re talking about here.
We mounted the Vortex in a set of Precision Reflex Inc.
rings, and while you could certainly go a little cheaper on
the mount, they were rock solid.
Determination: Recommended, but find out what am-
munition your individual rifle likes best.
