[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1631178, member: 307"] I'm 300 yard zero for all my rifles and concur with memtb..... "For big game, from muzzle to 400 yards.....”hold on hair”! A very fast system! At 400 yards, it’s a lot easier to judge 10” holdover than say 30+ inches! If the shot is close, hold a bit low....if the shot is long, hold a bit high. For us...it’s worked very well for over 25 years. This may be impractical for small targets, prairie dogs, “jacks”, Rock Chucks, ect.....but works well with big game! However, we started before range finders and range adjustable scopes were the norm! We now have both, and are staying with the old system. If the shot is over 400, and time permits.....range the target and dial the scope. Kind of....the best of both worlds!" Here in the Southeast when a buck pops out on a pulp wood road, with 25 Walkers after him, you ain't got time to be ranging and dialing. [/QUOTE]
