[QUOTE="Alstar250, post: 626383, member: 44220"] Hey thanks Bravo. Yes I own a Leupold with their LR Reticle as well as versions of Nikon's BDC stuff, so I get that part. I guess when I see someone write about their LR rifle, I'm expecting to see a target type scope with adjustable turrets etc instead of the hunting stuff like I own. So thats why I get confused when I see [I]hunting [/I]scopes used for [I]targets[/I]. So that brings me to the 2nd way you mention. POI = POA. I watch episodes of shows like "Extreme Outer Limits" where for every shot, he dials in MOA based on distance and I'm wondering; where does he start? Like for instance, on my rifle I have it zero'd to hit about 2.5" high @ 100yds and I just point the crosshairs on whatever I'm shooting at all the way to 300yds. So if I wanted to go to say 550 yds, and I start dialing in elevation on the scope, do I just dial it back when I'm done for my initial zero? And what does a scope that has a "resettable zero" or "zero stop" do for me? Lastly what kind of software programs are you all using to determine how much MOA etc. to dial in? Are these available for things like my iPhone? Or do I need some sort or proprietary hand-held device? [/QUOTE]
