[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2234498, member: 12443"] I didnt say use that as a zero. But you can use that as a hold and dial from it. I have several now very old Leupold scopes from before the time period (any) scopes other than the target types had dialing ability. We would send them to Dick Thomas of Premier reticles for a reticle change to a programmed multi dot reticle out to 1000 yds. They were/are very good as for being on at the various distances provided you dont change the load they were programed for. So i know the lowest dot is 1000 yds, and i can just dial from that for longer shots now that i have target knobs on the scope. The key of coarse is to know where you are to start with the reticle, and that requires shooting. We didnt always have the ability to just order a tapered base or special scope rings the way it can be done today. Because nobody was making them 30 years ago. You had to learn to improvise, and frankly it wasent a bad thing. [/QUOTE]
