Excuse me if this seems like a dumb question, but I see some scopes (like the Trijicon TA01) are "calibrated" for different cartridges. Some Leupolds are too.
Considering that not only caliber but also the barrel it is fired from can effect the range and drop on a bullet, what gives? How could it work accurately?
I want to put a Leupold 6x42 mil-dot scope on a Savage 10FP .308, is this a scope that goes on this rifle well? To switch ranges is it a matter of knowing from experience how many clicks to adjust the aiming point up and down? Then how does the scope with "bullet drop compensation system" work? I presume it allows you to (theoretically) sight on targets at multiple ranges without needing to adjust the scope.
Thanks if you can clear up my confusion on these matters.
