[QUOTE="excaliber, post: 1868991, member: 86034"] OK, I've read what everyone has recommended and here's my thoughts and why I picked the scenario I did. My setup is a Rem 700 bdl with Bartlein #3 5R barrel 26" 1:10 with brake. New Scope is a Zeiss V4 6-24x50 with the zmoa-1 reticle. I'm shooting the 200 gr ELD-X with 79gr of H1000 at 2970 fps +/- zero will be 200 yards as it was with the old scope. This gun is really accurate and shoots into ragged holes at 200 yards. Shooting steel and paper out to 750 yards(max range) was no problem at all with the CDS scope. I'm hoping it will be better with the Zeiss. I'm not what any of you would call an experienced shooter but this gun just flat out puts them right where I'm aiming. I thought that I would just buy a Kenton custom dial similar to what I had with my recently removed CDS scope but with both moa and yardage on it. They call it the Military dial. I was thinking I could have marked yardage for quicker shots and then have the ability to dial moa for shooting longer distances and playing around at the range. Then I thought why not just learn moa and dial that way? Hence this post. From watching people use their High end wind meters, linked Rangefinder and apps on their phones I thought these were more for shooting steel as they are just too slow to get the actual data needed for my intended usage in a hunting situation. From most of the comments I think I'm still right about these systems being too slow in a quick hunting situation. I'm not too keen on passing a trophy animal that I could dial for and kill with my old setup. I specifically picked the scenario to see if anyone could come up with a system to get the dope needed in this amount of time to make this shot. Many said they would pass on the shot. I'm was hoping there would be some system that would be much quicker. It sounds like the G7 Rangefinder might be the fastest. I may be best off with a compromise using a less expensive wind meter, my Sig2200 and a printed drop chart for the current hunt. I'm still kicking things around and haven't made any real decisions yet. Thanks everyone for all the info. [/QUOTE]
