[QUOTE="Broz, post: 1119960, member: 7503"] I just found it a little extreme you posted only two model scopes you would trust for accurate dial up. We have tested almost every NF model for accurate elevation calibration all the way through their internal elevation range, and rarely find an error. If we do it is very minute and more likely to be our equipment and method rather than the scope. 1000's of guys dial for shots with great success and have been for years. So I guess I am of a different opinion based on what I teach and see with our experience in the field. To me a dialed in center reticle hold, with a fine cross hair is much more accurate. Especially if you are holding both windage and elevation for the same shot that could fall between reticle subtensions, or going for precise bullet placement instead of just center mass on a target. Different tasks and different jobs do dictate the best method of use. I dial for the cold bore shot for every shot and it works extremely well for us. My 300 win just went 31 and zero for cold bore kills on big game. Every shot dialed for windage and elevation. That is hard for me to argue with as well. Jeff [/QUOTE]
