[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1760045, member: 26227"] Taylor, my question is why are you zeroing at 100 yards? If this is a dedicated long range rifle why not zero at 400 or 500 yards? going with a standard or 0 MOA offset would give you all the adjustment you need for a 100 yard zeroing. then you loose 20 MAO for the long shots. so again I ask, why zero at 100 yards when this is a long range gun? zeroing at 400 or 500 yards would be better for a long range gun. All my 1,000 yard+ guns have a zero of 500 yards and a 20 MOA offset base. 338 Lapua and 300 Win Mag. My 25-06 (goat gun) has a zero of 400 yards.(average shot here in Nevada) My 270 WSM's are zeroed at 300 yards My 270 Wins are zeroed at 100 (pack rifle) and 300 yards (prairie rifle) My 375 H&H 100 yards (2.5X scope) My 444 Marlins are zeroed at 50 (open sights/brush) and 100 yards (2X scope).
