[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 223972, member: 704"] I took two rifles along to Montana on an elk hunt. When we got there I checked my 300 Win Mag at 1100 yards and it was right on. I was about to check my 300 WSM at 500 yards, but a pickup drove in and stopped right at the target. I had installed the scope early that week and zeroed it so no problem. I was as happy as a kid with new shoes with this scope and was showing it off to a dozen people. Anyway about the third day as we are driving to our hunting spot we were within 200 yards where we plan to stop and walk. I looked left and six cows and a raghorn are 100 yards out and running parralel to me. I stopped where we planned to walk from and there is a beautiful 6x6 standing at 258 yards. Fish in a barrel. If he jumps the fence it cost $6k to hunt the other side. To shorten this story unknown to me one of those people I was showing off this scope to had turned it down one full turn. It was on zero so I didn't notice. Well, you all know how that ended. I pounded ground four feet below my aim point. Zero stop on every new scope I puchase. [/QUOTE]
