[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 394791, member: 1133"] Here's what i'd do (if u want to use the same gun and optic). Have somebody take a coin and run the turrets back and forth on that optic, then back to the zero setting again. If it's repeatable and holds zero, and gives u good range of vertical travel (as u watch the reticle while it's being turned), then get a Stoney Point Target turret, and check the zero settings at the range. See how bad parallax is with that optic also. Sometimes the cheaper optics work OK--they have for me. I'd load the 87 V-Max if it shoots accurate as that BC will get u to 600 better than about anything else using std. 24 cal. twist rates. Chances are that optic is the plex-style reticle. Find out where the lower post tip's zero is (@ 10x), and then just use the reticle out to that range (as a 1-stadia ballistic reticle) and turret for longer. Have a buddy that's shooting a 243 AR-10 for coyotes and he made every 1st shot connection attempted this year on coyotes (except 1) beyond 400-785 yds. with the 87 V-Max. [/QUOTE]
