[QUOTE="Sealesniper, post: 2834592, member: 20769"] From personal experience I know if you don't have your center line heights of your optics to bore correct, NONE of your electronics data will be right. Verify your height above the bore. For my hunting in Eastern NC I zero at 250 so I can make the quick shot to 400 without any dope, as many times just don't have the time to mess with it before the big guy has moved into the woods. For a LR gun, I zero at 100. I do this so my clicks are easy to zero. Also, wind deflection and my ability to have a tight group are much better at 100 than 200 or more. If I want to know where the gun is hitting, I can get a much more accurate zero at 100, off a cement rest with good bags and bi pod. Again this is for a long range gun. For my hunting gun I shoot off a bipod with rear bag but in more of a hunting like environment, ie Wood bench. I then verify my drop out to my max "un Doped" range of 450-500 and make a sheet sheet for hold over (or clicks for dope). Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
