[QUOTE="woods, post: 193539, member: 6042"] Hey John, take a look at the Zeiss Conquests with the RapidZ 800 [url=http://www.zeiss.com/C1256BCF0020BE5F?Open]Welcome to Carl Zeiss Optical, Inc.[/url] With this system it is not true that the reticle is only good for a certain bullet at a certain velocity. Use the RapidZ calculator on their website to calculate the power to set the scope on to match whatever load you are shooting. For example the calculator says that for my 300 win mag load shooting a 200 gr Accubond at 2900 fps the power would need to be set on 11.37 power for the reticle to be correct as follows: crosshairs - 200 yd zero 1st bar - 294 yards 2nd bar - 395 yards 3rd bar - 496 yards 4th bar - 600 yards 5th bar - 705 yards 6th bar - 812 yards Or for a 180 gr Accubond at 3100 fps set the power on 12.46 for crosshairs - 200 yd zero 1st bar - 296 yards 2nd bar - 398 yards 3rd bar - 499 yards 4th bar - 600 yards 5th bar - 702 yards 6th bar - 804 yards That's pretty close and you will have a Zeiss. My 4.5x14x44 RapidZ 800 costs me $659.00. [/QUOTE]
