Where did I endorse a 3 1/2" high at 100 yards? I know heater hunting is tough work in your area. Shoot any seals lately?

Where did anyone set their zero that high? I’d bet most fellas use a 200, 225, 250 zero if they’re hunters which would be about 1.5-2” high at 100 with most normal set ups. Jordan mentioned zeroing at 100 and just simply running with the 250 yard correction on the optic. Seem folks do that as well. It’s all relevant if you’ve got the range and time. It is pretty nice though to lock on a zero, input the junk into a calculator and hit the RF, add it to the turret and put hits on target. The time factor gets lost in me. If a buck or bull is at 400 yards or better it’ll take me more time to get my pack situated than to dial. Semper Fi

If time doesn't allow that is still easily within holdover range with a 200 yard zero, with any normal round/bullet. I went the holdover/ballistic reticle/dots route for a while....but once I drank the dialing koolaid there was no turning back for me.

Hint. I just "happened" to order another 1-6x HD MQ today and outta da' fhuqking blue,received my Meoptika 1-6x replacement scope. The original K-dot was a Schit Show,so opted a MRAD 2 RD replacement. Things like this arrival,make one APPRECIATE all things SWFA.(grin) Hint. REALLY?!? .15 mil erector graduations? Pretty fhuqking funny! Hint. Fhuqk it...I'll toss it on a shelf somewhere. Hint. LAUGHING!............. Montucky, The centerhold easily(obviously) allows the greatest feedback opportunity,for trace/impact interactions...but the hold-offs mentioned thus far,are fhuqking NOTHING. Hint. I enjoy Hold-off Dissenters and yard turrets offa their platform(s) and let them connect their own dots,by simply driving the windshield,which is of course SIMPLE. Less the option,schit tends to sink in QUICKLY.(grin) hint. Seen it! LAUGHING!................. 'retzs, Said rifle has done been spruced the fhuqk up and is simply a Piece Of Fhuqking Schit Winny 54 chambered(now) in K-Hornet. Shilen spout,MacaMillion stock,yada,yada,yada. Have had LOTSA Seal Rifles in my mitts,but none were brandished with such enthusiasm,nor sucha duration.(grin) hint. Somebody's heart was in it! Hint. LAUGHING!.............

Many people do not, expecting equipment alone to do the job. Anything else, including hold over ( My Goodness!!) will be personal preference. BTB, it`s a rifle, shooting jacketed bullets, with an optical device attached. The TOOL works for me. YMMV.

Hint. Congratulations?!? There's Bums schitting in the street,Crying Karens Melting Down and folks dressing for their next Riot,under the "justification" it's "working" for them. Read that again. Now one more time. Hint. A scope's purpose is to steer boolits andas you obliviously attest,Joe Average is DUMBER than fhuqk. They know NOTHING about the mechanics associated,but "think" they do and that is of course the only fhuqking reason this schit is sooooooooo fhuqking funny. Read that again. Now one more time. Hint. A "whopping" 100 bullets of STUPIDITY,do not connect a single fhuqking dot. Spin a gal like you in a circle in a phone booth and you'd have to call 911 to find your way out. Gals who "know" and "do" as "much" as you are ALWAYS best served by asking questions,rather than giving fhuqking "answers". It'll only come as a surprise to you,in that STUPIDITY isn't an "advantage". Read that again. Now one more time. Hint. Bless your heart for crying though. Hint. LAUGHING!................

IF I have a decent spinner scope, and “TIME” to screw with spinning it (meaning one target vs. a hurt or elk where I may chooose a second on instead of the first), then I’ll spin. At the end of the day - your end game should contain both. Especially if you are engaging multiple targets at speed... I spin for one, and hold over on the others... In those cases the strategy is either dial the closest hold over the rest, or if they are bunched dial the middle and slightly adjust. Last edited by Spotshooter; 11/10/20.

Hint. Congratulations?!? Funnier than fhuqk too,that FULL Reverse is the only gear you have and that you gotta steal Avatars,you Magnificently CLUELESS Drooling Fhuqktard. What could you possibly bring to the table,besides Hurt Feelings?!? Hint. LAUGHING! Bless your heart for crying though. Hint. LAUGHING!.............. Twatpooter, Erectors stay at their Zero,until Show Time. Hint. DOPE goes into the scope,before the buttstock hits the shoulder and it's funnier than fhuqk,that you prescribe your lack of coordination afflicting others. To be clear,it do NOT. Hint. LAUGHING! Now wax eloquent upon platform particulars and try again. RPM,projectile selection,atmospherics,mounting system and glass proper all bear in the equation,so be thorough,if only for once in your "life". Hint. Bless your heart for trying though. Hint.

I've never taken a shot long enough to need to dial the scope, that I didn't have time to assess, set up & verify that I wanted to shoot. Those are not simply offhand or snap shots................. As far as multiple targets, if'n we're talking about game animals, I've also never had multiple deer, elk, 'lope, moose or bear tags in my pocket that I need to worry about shooting more that the single target animal. Of course, YMMV & tacticool situations might change logistics................. MM
