[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1393781, member: 10291"] I’m not sure it makes a whole lot of difference, but I prefer my scopes zeroed for 200 yards for hunting and competition, but understanding the 100 yard dope should that range be my only option for a field check. I have not found that atmospheric conditions make a material difference in POI between 100 and 200 yard zero’s. I shoot elevations from 300’-4500’/ temps from 10F-85F; adjustments made with a Ballistic RF. Wind generally has to be accounted for at either zero range. The load for my primary hunting rifle has been standardized with same lot components, good for 1000 rounds and proven to be temperature stabile. Zero has maintained within a couple of clicks for several seasons. I’m not sure whether it’s due to parralax sensitivity at close range, bullet stabilization, or just plain psychological(me), but my 200 yard zero tests are generally more consistent, with better precision, then when using 100 yard zeros. Most importantly, I’ve been “nuts on” out to 1000+ yards. [/QUOTE]
