[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 437563, member: 8873"] Rgr that Boss, those are good videos and I actually had them saved. I know how to do it and why to do it, but was wandering if my thinking on this was off. If I wasn't gonna be dialing turrets I would want this(and use it). But for dialing, if my reticle is centered at my original zero ( 100yards, 200yards, or whatever) and I mostly shoot at 600+ then why should I care if it's near center when at the original zero? My normal operating range is gonna be at least a full turret revolution and more over zero. Plus I have heard that the closer to center the more exact the adjustments can be and you can have a better sight picture through the scope, so why wouldn't I want this to happen at distance rather then up close? I'm not recommending everybody that dials their turrets to sight their scope in with the reticle bottomed out. What I'm asking is why center it if you are gonna be mostly shooting for any distance and dialing away from center, maybe a long ways from center. How many of you guys set up your scope/rings/mount to maximize or get the most of your scopes adjustment range? My .338 is set up for this and I have a lot of adjustments left, however my .308 AR is pretty much centered at zero and I use the mil reticle for holdover/holdoff. [/QUOTE]
