[QUOTE="silvertip-co, post: 304379, member: 8712"] I zeroed my rifle at 300 yrds for antelope and reset the knobs to the 'zero' settings. Don't forget to lock them on the '0'. My initial intention was to zero my Mod 70 7mm Rem Mag with mildot at 500 yrds, but practically speaking I intend to again hunt antelope with the rifle and I dont like the 14" I have to hold 'under' at 200 & 300 yrds if I should happen get a shot that close. With my rifle zeroed at 300 yrds I only hold 4" under at 200 & 100. Frankly I aint that good of a shot and dont anticipate a real 1k shot on brown fur. Altho I may go to my local 1600 yrd range and fire a few volleys at 1k just to see if I can prove the numbers( or get close to them ) on the ballistics chart thing I use.
