cheers.

Wow! Very impressive.
I find it very difficult to judge wind as it seems to always be gusting and changing velocity, just as im about to pull the trigger...but you sir? - hats off!!

Thanks Tassie,
Do you have an Anemometer? What I do is when I do a,wind reading and adjust the scope for the wind speed , I will wait by keeping an eye on the anemometer snd then when it's close enough to the initial reading I will fire the shot.
cheers.

Nice. I love the idea of setting up a few hundred yards away and sniping off rabbits and or foxes. I have bought a Howa varmint barrel .223 and am struggling with a scope choice. It's my first rifle so I have no other scopes to compare etc blokes I know use nightforce shv which is outta my $$ range. The meopta meopro 6-18x50 is a possibility. What power do you find yourself using most of the time?
With that 6-20x power, what's the closest range you'd take shots with?

I have borrowed a meter previously but where I shoot it’s quite heavily timbered, then open, then timbered and so on so it is unpredictable...But even if I had a meter that worked adequately, consistent wind and a 1000 experience points - I doubt I’d come close to reading the wind like you have done here - it sounds Gail force!!!!
I recall reading some sniper books over the last couple of years and all of those top end shooters comment re the wind being the hardest factor to allow for, bar nothing else, so again - hats off to you sir.
