[QUOTE="winmagman, post: 74526, member: 1193"] Laine Welcome aboard. You've got the basic idea, find the range and adjust for the bullet drop with the scope turrets, this will zero you at the given range. As a side note ballistic charts will get you in the ball park but the only way to know the exact bullet drop is to shoot at various ranges and chart what the bullet really does. Leupold makes a very good scope but if you will be hunting with this rig you might want to reconsider the 8.5x25, having 8.5 as the lowest magnification could be a little restricting at closer ranges.
