How high @ 100 for 140gr 6.5cm for best POI

think how good some of us get scoring deer just by looking at them, you see the inches but it becomes pretty subconscious, and yeah, not burning a le tag on that deer lol, however, a general tag meat hunt those backstraps are just about to come off the bbq now, a perfect plump eater lol and I killed him within seconds of seeing the picture and it would not have mattered if I used the sig output in my reticle or if I used the inches off the decal or memory

Mils and quick drop make this so easy. No need to dial until you're past 300 yards -- at which point you're already taking extra time to set up a very stable position. Dialing elevation at that point is just one more item on the checklist before you send it. Dialing for wind never made sense to me, even on a range (though to be fair, I don't play at 1,000+ yards).

I waited over a year to get one of these and it's so intuitive that I don't have to think about much once I have my eye in it. At short distances, it's effectively a duplex. Look a little closer and you have some options available for better aiming when necessary.

I will bet you a tamale, it would help ! “ use the milk jug force Luke , become one with the jug “

Seriously if you have the space to set up a shooting course and practice hunting with jugs while you’re walking at unknown points using trees,backpacks, bipod ( not a bench) , hell even use your dial if you’re inclined
Imo it’s definitely not going to hurt your shooting ability come season!

guess you don't also have a fishing addiction then? You're pretty tied up in all things shooty lol, I'm across the board so the few hundred rounds a year practical works for the distances we generally kill at plus some insurance solutions and enough competency to go a little further and in the natural laws where most dies anyway despite how much extra shooty people do, fish or hunt as much as possible so we are much the same, there was a time where I was all shooty like you and both bow/gun but fishing has been going hard now for a few years as well so the bow stuff dropped off, it's freezer filling priorities primarily here, pre-tie almost everything I can before any fishing trip to maximize on water time, same for hunting stuff, bow or gun, learned the lessons of 'over practice' and getting too far past practical rabbit holes long ago, enough to have confidence and limits and work within it, you know when you're competent and confident for goals and when not and get to work when you're not, no outside verification needed...internal, competing against other people when could be fishing or hunting would never make my list, reminds me, gotta touch up the filet knife here and tie more stuff for the weekend,

go until we can go no more

Uhh, I fly fish like a fiend and own an offshore fishing boat too. And I have kids in competitive athletics that I coach. I have no time, I just do everything pedal to the metal. It’s a character flaw.

You know you can set or verify your 200 (or whatever) zero by shooting at 100 yards right? For people who don’t shoot game at long distances, messing with turrets that may or may not be reliable, or SFP reticles seems far more likely to induce error than a longer zero that covers the distance they are going to shoot. I generally have 100 yard zero on rifles that I dial regularly, but rifles that wear something like a credo 3-9 get a longer zero every time. Sure, it has a reticle that can be used, if I happen to be on max zoom.

The idea is to zero precisely at 100 yards (or meters) and then dial up to whatever MPBR zero you want (dial up to your 250 yard DOPE, for example). Carry the rifle with the turret dialed to that distance.

…and then screw the cap back on that turret if youre never, ever going to take a hunting shot past mpbr in the first place, because if its made to spin, it can spin, and we’re all about planning for reliability here. Same/same.

(From the guy w 2 hunting rifles, one with mils, a reticle and turret. The other capped with a small mpbr zero)

A man could be forgiven for reading through this thread and thinking it had a little in common with a d**k measuring contest.

Yeah except some people are using a fun house mirror to measure theirs before the contest

Just did a tough conditioning hike and went to a sports bar afterward for a recovery/reward meal. Read this and choked on my beer.
