[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1596609, member: 10291"] Interestingly, while I have used both 100 and 200 yard zeros with success, for my 1000 yard hunting I like a 200 yard zero. This appears to go against most of the conventional wisdom. Given a precise 200 yard zero settting with no wind influence, the error factor(particularly for parallax) between a 100 yard and 200 yard zero, measured to 1000 yards are 5x vs 10x, or half the error factor for the 200 yard zero. Atmospheric variations do not effect the zero betwen 100 and 200 yards for the 300-5000ft elevations I hunt. I am now going on my fifth season without touching the 200 yard zero on my 6.5x284, and it’s still nuts in POI out to 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
