[QUOTE="britz, post: 334272, member: 7865"] well, I'll say this: If your rifle hits 3" low at 300 yards, than you need to move up 1 inch per hundred yards to hit your target... so you would sight in at 1" high at 100. Having said that, there are few rifles that will shoot that flat. It is all about angle, if you move your scope 1 inch at 100 yards your line of sight will move 2" at 200, 3" at 300, 5" at 500, 10" at 1000yards and so on. you will hear the term minute of angle lots on this sight or minutes. This term refers to roughly 1.047" for every hundred yards or close to one inch per hundred. If your rifle hits 75" low at 500 from the original zero that you had set you will need to adjust your scope 25 inches at 100 yards (75 inches / 5.00) [/QUOTE]
