[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 349835, member: 8"] Jeff What I am trying to say is that with a 200 ayrd zero you can use a combination of the dial and the holdover to get to 2K+ yards After you dial it "nearly" all the way up you can use the reticle in holdover fashion and then get another 20 MOA if set on 22X or more if you dial up to 32 X and use the ratio of 32/22 (1.45 ratio gives 2.9 MOA per hash mark) to determine the MOA between the hash marks. I have done it that way once. I do not like to do that because if you do not get the magnification exactly right then you do not have an accurate calculation. Also I had never field checked the reticle to see if it was accurate At 32X the total MOA on the reticle from top to bottom is 43.6. Add that to the dial and you have over 100 MOA. Just to make a little funny, sell the rile and get a 7AM and put it under the scope. You will have plenty of dial to get to 2K :D [/QUOTE]
