[QUOTE="beefdip, post: 1426974, member: 102768"] I have a 20 MOA rail on mine rifle. I mounted the scope and set my elevation to zero on my turret. I sight in at 100 yards (POA). In my latest rifle the POI is 4.5" high. I then calculate my theoretical zero distance and place that value into my ballistic calculator. I test at that range to confirm. Adjust if needed. I do this for mainly one reason. To get all the possible elevation out of scope. Every single mil is available if I need it (I do a lot of long range shooting as well). Now there is a bit of a problem, if a critter comes in nice and close. But I have verified my shots at close ranges and use the reticle to "holdover" (or under in this case). It is usually only a few inches and also could be visualized on the reticle (especially with bigger animals). [/QUOTE]
