[QUOTE="dmj, post: 1069343, member: 73479"] I have a couple of these scopes and they seem to be nice scopes and work fairly well. As Laelkhunter advise you have to go to Zeiss web site and use their calculator. You enter the info they ask for and it tells you the the power to set the scope on to make the reticle work. One of the scopes I have, is mounted on a 7mm rum. It works quite well out to about 600 yards. Further than that it doesn't seem to be as accurate. Now please understand it could be me and not the scope. My take is sorta like this: When hunting I usually carry the rifle with the scope set on a low power, so if I see something out there at long range I would have to turn the scope power up to the particular power Zeiss advises or your confirmed power. So if I'm going to do this why not just dial for range plus I've had better results at ranges past the 600 yard mark by dialing the range. Now with all this said, if you were setting up in a certain spot and going to shoot at some type of squirrels and just wanted to set your scope up once for long distant shots, this might be the scope for you. Good luck and have fun. [/QUOTE]
