View from a rifle scope

That is a wind indicator flag about 100 yards downrange looking through a Nightforce Scope. Ordinarily you wouldn't be sighting in on a wind flag. I was at my gun club, Riverbend, north of Atlanta, last week for a competition.

 

Nightforce scopes are a little pricey and heavy but very popular because they are rugged, reliable and don't shift point of bullet strike when they are jarred, like lesser scopes do.

 

Rifle competitors just hate it when they spend many $thousands on their gear and hundreds of hours in practice and load development only to lose badly because their scope is dancing around. But not Nightforce.
