[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 99323, member: 11"] Rem the problems you have with target knob scopes are the same ones you will have with regular scopes. They just give you the ability to adjust more quickly when you have the time. As far as the PBR goes this is what you do. First you zero the rifle at 100 yards then with the help of a ballistic program or your known actual drops you determine what your PBR is for a certain size target. Lets say that target is a 4" target which will actually work out to about a 6" target if you include your groups size at 300 with factory loads. When you go to the field you crank in your scope for this range when you leave the house of get out of the truck. Lets say it is 246 yards. Then, using the ballistics program info, you know that you are going to hit meat out to 282 yards by aiming dead center. When you are done for the day crank back to your 100 yard home zero and put her away. You will just have to learn what a coyote looks like at around 282 yards (or whatever you Maximum point blank range (MPBR)works out to be.) I guarantee it will get you hitting dogs at longer ranges than a 200 yard zero because you will know what your outer limit will be instead of guessing. We can also build on this idea for a very quick adjustment for the shots past your MPBR. What is your muzzle velocity and Ballistic coefficient for your yote gun? I will crunch numbers for you and show you what I mean. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
