[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 4075818, member: 6064"] Wow, that made my head hurt! Couple thing here, first off the 0-200 big aperture IS NOT any set MOA, grab a bunch of them and measure and you will find any where from same plane as the small aperture, to over 3 MOA difference, both up and down between the two. Next, if you re index the elevation drum the range lines will be off the amount you re index the drum, not suddenly be back on when you click it back up. And more to the point...... Zero your rifle for the range you expect to use it at. All these 36 yard/50 yard zeros are at best just a rough way to be on paper. Any mismeasurement up close will be WAY off out there! I couldn't even begin to tell you the amount of rifles I've seen that were zeroed with "fill in the blank" latest coolest 33 1/3 yard guaranteed be right on all the way out to 500 yards that couldn't hit a 10" plate at 200 yards. If you want a 200 yard zero, find a 200 yard range! For iron sight rifles I like a 300 yard zero, and I make sure of that zero on a 300 yard range. [/QUOTE]
