[QUOTE="MachV, post: 19860, member: 93"] Like you it makes me nervous to turn the knobs after the scope has ben zeroed.I would prefer the R2 reticle(MOA hashes vrs Milldot) in a Nightfourse but it can get costly to put a NF on every shootin iron in the safe.The IOR MP8 reticle is a Gen 2 with 1/2 mil hash marks and about 1/2 the cost of NF with great glass. In the fixed power models it is almost foolproof.I have proved though that in the variable models this fool can screw it up and here's how I did it.I discovered that if you set a 6-24 IOR to 18 power the hash marks are 2MOA apart.So to get the most out of the reticle I set zero to the top hash mark and had all the hashes after that for adjustment [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Problem is once the power was adjusted so was my zero [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] Now I set the x hairs for a 500 yard zero,leave the power turned all the way up and it does a lot better job of doing what its suppose to.
