[QUOTE="Schreds, post: 2627734, member: 124539"] I have purchased a Leupold 3i 3.5-10x40 CDS-ZL scope. I purchased this scope with the intent of putting it on my .300 Win Mag TC Compass which I use for elk hunting. I'm shooting 180 grain Nosler Accubonds. I have yet to send in for my custom dial and this is where my question lies. Part of the information they request in order to build the dial is altitude and temperature. I hunt in Wyoming at about 8500- 9500 feet. I live in Kansas at about 1500 feet. Obviously this is where I do all of my practicing and where I will set my zero. My question is, how much will the difference in elevation affect the accuracy of the scope/dial? I'm anticipating a maximum range of around 600 yards as this is about all I have room to practice. I'm also not shooting competition, just trying to put one in the power plant of an elk. Thanks for any input. Schreds [/QUOTE]
