    Anyone know off the top of their head how this would translate at 100 yards - would it be closer so I could "Dot the i" on the black or would it just be further out and 10 - 12 inches high.
    Mac702 is probably right, and is it calibrated for .303 Mk.VII or much more likely, one of the earlier marks of .303 with the 215gr. bullet?

    Wrong forum too.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
