[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 571654, member: 26019"] Hi Mikecr its a lot easier than most would imagine. I use the center dot for 700 yd zero. two dots above it and 2 dots below it Each of those dots are spaced 36 inches apart at 1000 yds. thats a total of 108 inches elevation adjustment at 700 with out ever leaving the scope. 1/8th clicks only have a certainty of 1.25 inches at a grand. An eye can very easily divide a length down into 1/16 of a segment or 2.25 inches. only 1 inch difference between the two. Scopes don't rack up and down perfectly or go back to true zero, Mil rad spacing isn't perfect either but both are very good with a decent scope. With the real possibility of miscounting and or forgetting. It is my opinion that clicking is the least accurate of the two methods. All is well with dotting particularly if it is remembered that the scope can still click if needed! It is also very beneficial to keep the scope optically zeroed for intended ranges. I know it is a different thought that goes back to before rangefinders and computers but with the modern equipment of today it is better than ever and it was good! [/QUOTE]
