[QUOTE="andy_b, post: 1004611, member: 26342"] Howdy all, New to the target turrets thing. I have been hunting for a long time, but never with dials. Now that I can't run up and down the hills as well as I used to when I was a young man, I have decided to try the longer range thing. I am shooting a 7RM M70 with the BOSS (hell for accurate but **** loud). Loaded up some Nosler 160 ABs, couldn't find the 168's in either Nosler or Berger. I have the no brake muzzle weight, but I find it does not produce the same accuracy for me. My question is this - I have a good 100 yard zero. Do you guys walk around at zero, or do you dial in some elevation in case a rapid shot presents itself? When I first got this rifle, I shot it a few times at deer with no hearing protection. I will avoid doing that again if I can, so I probably will put some ears on to take a shot, so it would not be that fast, but I guess that depends on the size of target (or at least the antlers on the target). Wondering what the conventional wisdom is on this. I would think up a couple MOA for walking around would make sense, just like dialing the magnification down for walking around makes sense. What say you? Thanks Andy [/QUOTE]
