Sounds like the 2.5-3" zero and then just shoot the thing out to 500 to see how it does. The MPB sighting will work for 90%+ of the shots I will take. When I ordered the scope I was not thinking of the issues with the 2nd focal plane or the need to be at 14x for the stadia marks to work well. I may become a convert to the SWFA but I was not impressed with the optics when I looked at them, maybe with field use I would appreciate their practicality more.

This makes me appreciate the 6x Meopta with German # 4 no guesswork involved with that one.

AKWolverine thanks for the link that will prove useful.

Thanks for all the other replies as well, went through 9 responses with no pizzing matches, pretty good for the optics forum.
