[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 373468, member: 13285"] Hi .25MOA I'm a bit South of you. "at what distance should i zero at ?? Also the scope has the Mildot Plex which has those yardage markers for 200 300 400 500 600 yards, will they be of any use when zeroing at distances greater than 100yards ??" Mate you just have to start somewhere and see how it goes. But if you want to shoot to 1000 yards then you are going to have to dial up. I am not a fan of yardage markers on a scope reticle but with that scope I would zero it in at 100 yards. I would then shoot it at all the range markers listed with your chosen load and see how it compares. Then I would work out the drop at 1000 yards and see how far off the mark you are at that distance when you dial up. Once you have all this information you will then have a better idea of the trajectory of your load. This will help you decide on where to go fron there. Do you have any idea what load you will be shooting? [/QUOTE]
