[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1485469, member: 55944"] I believe those numbers on the scope are supposed to correspond to a rangefinder of sorts. The 5.4 at 14x is supposed to be 540yds when a deer brisket to shoulder fits between the center crosshairs and the thick part of the bottom post. Leupold used to make a scope with a thin section in the reticle for this purpose but they now use the duplex itself. What this means is that at 14 power the distance between the center crosshairs and bottom post is roughly 16” at 540yds which is equal to roughly 3.2MOA. At 300yds 3.2 moa is about 9.6” which should be close to the drop of your 243 when zeroed at 100. [/QUOTE]
