[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1694131, member: 104363"] I use the Leopold Vx3 in 6.5-20 zoom 2nd focal, with target turrets and another in 8.5-25, same scope. Each has the Varmint reticle, with the BDC subtensions. In the manual, it shows you how to calibrate the zoom to the 500 yard bullet drop with a 200 yard zero for just about any ammunition. I mark my zoom ring for the correct calibration, for that one hunting load. In the end, you can "hunt" from under a hundred out to 600 without touching a turret. If you're going longer, zoom all the way up and click up. It works, but if only if you don't mind your POI moving +/- 1" in the kill zone. For target work maybe you want something different. I'm quite happy with it's performance for hunting in that 600 yard "no mess" situation. I have target turrets burned for situations beyond 600. [/QUOTE]
