*sigh* Sounds like you know everything. Here's my crappy surgeon/krieger/aics 18" 308. I've only won 1 LR comp with it and scored 1st round hits at 1200yds. Its got a 100yd zero, but obviously its not practical and I'm doing it wrong. I'll re-zero everything I own at 200yds because you say its better.

Nevermind the fact that you don't magically get more mechanical elevation inside your scope when you zero at 100yds vs 200yds. Your come up's are what they are, and unless you run more slant in your base, you will only have as much elevation as your scope allows. So what's the point of zero'ing at 200 if you have room to zero at 100? You like having adjustment below your zero that you aren't using?

If you don't know "any long range shooters that zero for 100yds" then you must not know very many long range shooters. All the accomplished shooters I know run a 100yd zero on EVERYTHING. The only time that is not true is when doing benchrest where they KNOW the exact range the rifle will be used at. Then they zero at 600, or 1000.

With my 338LM I can dial past 2000yds from my 100yd zero. So please tell me how its not practical some more.

Let me guess, this is the part where I am supposed to be impressed because you own a nice rifle and don't zero it like the rest of the shooting world?

Anything with an AICs on it is crappy, at least we agree on that part........
 
No, this is the part where you should have just explained your position in a polite manner in the FIRST PLACE. Instead you decide to act like you are the only one here with long range shooting experience.

You aren't.

I could care less if you are impressed. You patronized me, so what reaction did you expect mr genius?

You keep trying to say EVERYONE does it like you do. Well they don't. Quite the contrary.

I tried to explain my position with facts. How about you do the same.

Please tell me how you get more mechanical adjustment in your scope by zero'ing at 200yds vs 100yds?

This is you patronizing me.

This is kyote killer making a false statement.

I asked you to tell me WHY you think its not practical. YOU STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED ME.
 
So in other words, I never did say that you got more adjustment with a 200yd zero, correct? And that was either you assuming or being grammatically challenged. Can I assume that this is an accurate asessment?
 
Yeah, kyote killer said that... which is wrong.

Sorry about that. You were the one assuming I didn't have any experience.

Now, care to explain your position on why you think 100yds zero isn't practical?
 
Sure.

I do not use any of my dedicated LR stuff to shoot 100yds or less. If i did, a 200yd zero would still get that done without any turret spinning. That said, with a 200yd zero I have to spin turrets a lot less to get on target at longer ranges.

Does this make sense to you?
 
Well it varies as too the caliber and load, but it was an approximation of the principal.
It might be 200 yds, 225 yds, could be 250 yds, etc and then of course the limit might vary from 300 yds as well. Just trying to give a simple explanation. Sorry if I did not spell it out completely.
 
"That said, with a 200yd zero I have to spin turrets a lot less to get on target at longer ranges."

This is what I meant. In a way it seems like you should get more MOA becuase your dialing less.

Not exactly a false statement completely, just didnt know exactly how to word it I guess.

Orkan, some members here loves to make themselves out to be the "experts" and look for every possible opportunity to make their point, in the most inflammatory way possible. Good communication skills were obviously not part of their upbringing and results in threads that are filled with mudslinging and accusations. They are not happy until they can stir the pot and create unnecessary chaos and contempt. It seems that it is an accepted modus operandi here unfortunately. You just have to ignore those that would rather stir crap.
 
Kinda like you jumping into other peoples' conversations without warrant. You've long proven to not have a clue......

So the difference in elevation from 100yds to 200yds results in less turret spinning at longer ranges?

The come up from 100yds zero to 200yd is about 1.5 minutes, maybe 2, on most things. Barely noticable. So you zero at 200yds to save 1/5th of a turn or less on your turret?

edit, go ahead and keep attacking me personally. You lack the ammo to combat this from a fact standpoint.

I wanted a short over-all rifle length with suppressor attached, and I wanted better performance with subsonic ammo.
