[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1631824, member: 100006"] That is some solid advice (great advice from everyone). It's funny you mention the H59 style reticle and maybe I should have mentioned this initially but my scope on my hunting rifle has a Leupold CCH reticle which is very H59-ish. I agree with you that animals rarely read their script to stand still long enough to range, set-up, and shoot which is part of the reason I picked the scope I did. I bow hunt and have spent plenty of time splitting the pins because animals are never at their scripted 10 yard increments and I use my scope in a similar fashion. I currently zero at 100 yards but then practice with my scope's reticle out to 600 yards (longest local range) and regularly have to split my hash marks. I have the turret to crank if the situation allows but I almost always end up holding into my reticles grid system. I suppose in a way it's a hybrid of a 100 yard zero and a MPBR zero (at least in my head) and your post kinda tied that all together. I'm going to play around this summer with a scope set for MPBR on a different rifle to try it out regardless. [/QUOTE]
