[QUOTE="SLE, post: 347597, member: 3889"] I think with most of what people are shooting for rifles, a 200 yard zero isn't that far off of a MPBR zero, depending on your definition of MPBR. I look at it this way; With a 200 yard zero, most rifles need no discernible adjustment at 100 yards when it comes to making a clean shot, you know your going to shoot an inch or two high. At 300 yards, your talking less than 6 inches or so low which most shooters can not only remember but make a slight adjustment and get a good clean consistent shot. Once you get beyond that distance, beyond 300 yards, most won't have an accurate judgement of distance, the amount of hold-over or adjustment grows exponentially, and in order to be consistent, most shooters will need to range and dial anyway. For sure this becomes the case over 400 yards. With a 100 yard zero, by 300 yards your likely over a foot low which allows more room for error in hold over and you definitely need to make an adjustment to get a good clean shot.At-least the way I look at it, based on the guns in my cabinet, most of mine zeroed at 200 yds are essentially a point and shoot out to 300 yards when talking about taking down deer size or larger game. much beyond that, I'm going to be using the range finder and tactical turret. So this brings me to the second part of FFP or SFP? I like my reticle to stay the same size and because I don't feel the accuracy is there doing hold overs beyond 400 yards, and I will be using the dialable turret of my scope at that point to hone in on my target, SFP is fine for me. The down side of this is it forces you to use your turret for windage also unless your at max magnification and or if you can remember what fraction of magnification you are set at. To me, this becomes more a discussion of are you a range and dial, or range and hold-over person. [/QUOTE]
