To be honest, I don't know much about long range shooting or the specification of the scopes used; but I do find it interesting. How much elevation adjustment do you get in a modern military sniper scope?
At what range would you zero a .50 calibre sniper rifle?
I understand that the "spotter " will have better optics and be able to relay information on point of impact; but can you actually see the target in the rifles scope at that distance if it's 350 MOA below the line of zero (if zero was 200 yards for example)
You sure that drop is in feet? Most drops are given in inches, which would still be an improbable 92 ft...
