Default Welcome aboard

Saw an interesting WWII special the other day on sniper scopes and found that the Russian scope was simple and could quickly be sited in - compared to any other high tech scopes even today. I'm not a sniper but an average shooter for sport - but I found this interesting. The simplicity of a scope adjustment for targeting could be sited in just three shots. Most were taking 5 or more.

I'm not sure how long it takes to site in most scopes - but I know my 30.06 took about 6 shots to site in most of the time.

I'm also curious about cold whether siting practices as compared to warm weather shooting and how that affects ones ability to site accurately in the climate changes. Can you enlighten me - Thanks
