Exposed turrets?

[WoodlandCritter]

Maybe I'm just slow, but why would anyone zero a big game rifle at 100 or 200 yards? Zero for maximum point blank range, and hold over for beyond that.

I have one exposed elevation turret scope, on my 17-223 for coyotes. Carried on a sling that knob has a tendency to move. It just happened to be an exposed turret scope, I didn't buy it for that. Wouldn't ever have an exposed turret scope on a big game rifle.

My MPBR zero happens to be ~180yds, so that's why I zero within that range. That being said, I tend to agree. I'm a hold over guy. However, I also wouldn't take a shot past 500yds or maybe even a little less. Much more than a half second time of flight is too much time for something out of my control to happen for my liking.
