[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2246635, member: 68875"] If you zero for 100, but then dial for 200 to walk around with....you are zeroed for 200. What is the difference? Except the ability to "dial down" to 100. But, depending on scope, even with a 200 yard zero and a zero stop, you can still dial below "0" to get a 100 yard POA/POI with certain scopes. Some scopes can dial .1-.5MIL (or MOA) below zero. Some are a dead zero set too. I cannot see shooting 6-8"+ high when shooting downhill with a "200 yard zero" and a 100-140 yard target. Maybe with a 400+ yard target and you dial actual LOS distance instead of compensating for the angle actual horizontal distance. I have shot downhil/uphill, even high angles, plenty of times. Never had an issue. There was something else going on with the shot/set up. [/QUOTE]
