[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 701774, member: 10832"] IMO you really don't have the luxury of worrying about optical degradation. 35 MOA of total scope adjustment is really low for a LR scope and you are going to have to forget about some perks of having your scope perfectly setup and just worry about getting your scope to work within your range. BTW, what scope do you have? This is personally what I would do for your setup. First I would put your gun/scope in a rigid vice and determine how high and how low you can run your turrets before you start to see the click adjustments start to vary or stop completely. You can do this with a collimator if you have one or you can print out measurements and place the paper at a distance where you can easily get good clarity/focus of your scope but also be able to read the measurements. (You can also verify your scope clicks are adjusting as specified by the manufacturer which will be a huge help in the long run as you begin to shoot longer distances.) This will tell you how much usable MOA you really have and also will tell you how low you can dial to determine your zero point without having turret issues. I would then start at the low point right above where your turrets started having issues and then use the signature rings to get you zeroed at your specified zero range. (I would at least zero at 200 yards) This will give you the most amount of usable turret adjustment. It should also put your scope at it best at the longer distances which is where you really need turret repeatability and optical clarity, etc. If you want to get enjoy all the benefits of the signature rings or a scope that is perfectly setup for the LR game then you are likely going to have to buy a new LR scope.
