But the fact is that he never used any of those Unertle’s for actual long range (hunting.)
And the fact is i did, which is why when better choices came along i moved on.
Because if he had, his would have all found a new home by now also.
Ditto with the Balvars.
But hey, dont take my word, take a trip anywhere where top shooters are congregated, like say Camp Perry, or any of the 1000 yd benchrest clubs and see if you find any Unertle’s or B&Ls.
And you wont be finding many of the nice old model 70s either.
It’s no different than having a collection of nice old bamboo fly rods.
Nice to look at, but other than that they mean nothing, especially with regard to the owner.
As for the velocity issue thats an easy one to solve even without a Chrony.
The number of clicks on the dial after a shot will tell the (real) velocity.
Provided the scope blocks on those old scopes are spaced properly. lol
