Looking through a lot equipment lists from matches held all across the country, I'm noticing that a lot of shooters use fixed power scopes like the 36, 40 and 45 power Leupold. My question is how do you deal with mirage when the scope magnification is that high. I couldn't even see the rings on my target a few days ago at 300yds,with my Leupold36X, let alone bullet holes but I could with a 6X20 Weaver Grand slam set to 16 power. Now my Leupold is very old and I was wondering if the newer lens coating of the grand slam allowed me to see the holes or was it the reduced power that eliminated the mirage? I would really like to get this figured out.
