[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 705097, member: 9172"] "Flawed logic".."good enough". First off, 99% of my shooting is NON-TACTIAL, so your Idea that I have two different zeros is hogwash. I shoot 1 tac mach a year. Second, this is LR hunting, but, like most of the people who post here, MOST of the game opprotunitys are not considered long range.

"Good enough"...the deer dosn't care weather I center punched the heart or just took out two ventricals...dead is dead....dead on arival. And, If I need to be "sergical" at short range....I dial DOWN. Or use the reticle to hold under. Also, with a pumkin thrower like 338L you would need to zero at 100.:D....3.5 inches high at 100? I am no where near 3.5" high at 100 with a 300 yard zero, so "hold under" in normal hunting situations is moot...it don't happen. How -N-L did we get here from the OP? [/QUOTE]
