[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1069296, member: 38154"] I had the 800 on my .340 Weatherby. It seemed accurate and the concept is good. Variables that affect POI (altitude, temp, etc), play into it. Zeiss recommends confirming the accuracy at the different distances, which is great advice, and that can be done at home, but not really practical once you relocate to your hunting area. A confirm of zero at 100 or 200 yards is a good idea to make sure your rifle hasn't changed POI for some reason. You have to go on the Zeiss website, and put in all the variables, and it will advise which power the power ring needs to be set at to make the range stadia wires in the scope to be accurate. If you go through all of that, and then have it set at a different power when you are shooting at game or target (say 9X instead of the recommended 13.5X), then the bullet won't hit where the stadia wires are. Sounds confusing, and I probably didn't explain it perfectly- Maybe someone else can add their .02 Bottom line, if you have all of the variables entered in the Zeiss computer, and it advises you what power to set the scope on, make sure the scope is on that power when you shoot. This applies to ranges past 200 yards, as the main crosshair is dead on at 200, and you don't have to worry about a different rangeing crosshair up to 200. Clear as mud, right??? [/QUOTE]
