[QUOTE="73driver, post: 1631307, member: 36473"] Sighting in at 100 is great for scopes with dial up turrets. I you have what used to be a more typical capped dials hunting scope then sighting in for 200 to 230 zero gives you what is called a point blank hold to lets say around 280 yards. Yes the bullet might be 1.5/1.75 high or low but that should get you your vitals hit. My 270 is zeroed so the cross hairs for 300 yds just under a deer back gets me center mass, the heavy bottom post in the duplex reticle is dead on at 400. All I need is the range and I know the holds for 300/350/400 yards everything closer is a dead on hold. So it's a light rifle and not looking to make shots past 400 anyway. [/QUOTE]
