[QUOTE="Full Curl, post: 1867366, member: 47602"] Thanks for all the very helpful replies everybody! I don't have any MOA elevation built into my rail so I'll get all of it out of the scope itself. My scope does have the zero stop feature that can be set. I'll get it zeroed and then will have to play with the Strelok Pro app to see what I can get as far as distance out of it. I need 800 minimum and would like to get 1000 yards. For hunting at reasonable distances 400-600+ yards I'd like to know my set number of clicks for known distances... i.e. 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, etc. I'd like to have it written on a small piece of paper taped to my stock for quick reference so I can quickly dial for a range. So if I'm in the field and range a deer at 543 yards, I look at the small piece of paper taped to my stock and it tells me my number of elevation clicks for 550 yards... I quickly dial the scope and am ready to take the shot. Of course it's not this simple and I take note of wind, etc. but I do not want to punch all the data it into a calculator while hunting.
