I like that 2nd one Lib. He actually made calcs simple and then translated it to the shot. Good stuff... :thumbs:

OK sharkey, the short answer is without a proper slope dope you will over shoot your target if it is up/down hill from you. I do not know of a quick easy way to get it right without the math in there somewhere, other than walking it in with a beltfed but you already knew that much.

Aahhh... My old 60. I know there's new and improved stuff out there and all but man, I really miss my old 60 sometimes. We sure had some hot shooting, cigarette lightin off the barrel days together...

Seems such a long, long time ago and yet I can still feel her rockin away... What a girl... :)

Here is a newer version of the one I have, not the fanciest version but it does the job;

I should add that I had to send it back twice before I got a good one, one had the readout backwards and one just flat wouldn't give a reading, thought my eyes were really going on me. :rotfl: Once they sent a good one I've had zero issues for almost three years now.

One more thing I`ll add in about that old Pre 64 Winchester and that Red Field scope.
It was sighted in flat on at 700 yards.
