[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1335173"] Another factor that many people don't consider is scope center to bore height, sometimes it is better to zero farther and have the reticle actually stay closer to mechanical/optical center than get the shorter range zero. Even with today's glass being as close to optic center is what you want, resolution is at max there as the closer you get to the edge the greater the possibility of distortion etc. I had a FN Mauser (7.92x57JS 198 Brenneke Torpedo) with a post WW2 Ajax 7.8 X 50 with High turrets and to stay optically centered I think it was zeroed at 400 Meters, though I will say that the glass was so good that even against some of today's optics they would give them a run for their money, was almost like you could see in the dark compared to a lot of what was available in the US.
