[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 863456, member: 9172"] You are correct..the OP was asking "how do you measure it". As far as the balistic charts, and you don't want to dissasemble your setup, then guess to within 1/2 inch...which is very easy, and you will be good enough. With a 300 yard zero you are looking at an error of 1 inch at 1000 yards....the difference between 1.5 and 2.0 inch scope height using a 140 vld at 2900 fps. The diff is a little greater if you use a 100 yard zero.... about 4 inches at 1000 yards. Pretty much a moot point!! Good luck and don't sweat the small stuff. [/QUOTE]
