I am planning on hunting general modern rifle for deer this year. First time going.
Anyways, this scope is apparently made for whitetail hunting. I don't know what the means specifically...... Can anybody give me some insight?
Also, Sight Mark makes this statement about the product but I can't find specifics on the variety of calibers:
"this reliable optic allows hunters to confidently prepare for the season ahead by providing a range-finding BDC reticle that works with a variety of hunting calibers."
Anybody have any ideas?
I see that when I research white tail calibers/cartiridges most use .243, .25-06, .270, 7mm, .308 and .30-06. Maybe these are the calibers they are speaking of???
I decided to get this scope since it was a good price for what it offers, or so it seems.
Does anybody have any ownership reviews on the Sight Mark scopes?
I am planning on buying a T/C Compass in .308 later this summer to pair the two together with.
Thanks - P

In a nut shell the strata line above the crosshairs are used to bracket the animal to judge the distance and the dots below the crosshairs are to be used as an aiming point at the distance. The best way to make these work well for you is to get out on the range and shoot at a long piece of paper and see where each dot places the bullet on the paper then make a cheat sheet of the info and proceed to shoot at each distance to confirm that everything is as predicted.
