[QUOTE="minute of elk, post: 867524, member: 44031"] ok, for the last year or two I've been steering folks away from Zeiss for long range work due to small turret travel & dials that didn't inspire confidence (hunting turrets at least). After yesterday, i have to take it all back. We managed to get moa or better hits with the Tikka 300 WSM at 675, and near moa hits out to just shy of 1300 yards by using the reticle on various powers. Granted, 1125 yards on 3 power requires some good eyes, but as sharp as the conquest glass is, i could easily see the target rock & was able to put lead on it repeatedly. here's a crappy cell phone/spotting scope pic of our victim [URL=http://s1185.photobucket.com/user/elk_country_rp/media/Snapbucket/photo1_zps2481a912.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z357/elk_country_rp/Snapbucket/photo1_zps2481a912.jpg[/IMG][/URL] see that little tiny brown chunk of scrub in the middle of the frame just above the big horizontal crack? We estimated it at ~20". I managed a slight left first round miss, and a hit on the second shot using the bottom hash at 3x. Good stuff! [/QUOTE]
