100, ask yourself why 200 and really think about it.
200 yards and card that shows me precisely which hash mark in the reticle to use for shots to 1000 yards in 25 yard increments. Hunting situations can happen fast. No time to dope.
Really, so you have the marks for 25 yards intervals past 200 out to 1000, but yup 100 out to 900 just won’t give you enough time, lol.
I'd rather not know hit % on those shotsLol exactly what I was thinking. I’m curious who takes a 1000 yard shot that happens so fast you can’t even spend the 2 seconds to dial. The really long shots I have taken have taken a minute or 10 to set up between getting a few ranges to verify , kestrel readings, rear support and bipod perfect, maybe even a dry fire thrown in. I’m curious the hit % on these 1000 yard snapshots.

Right. Which is why you zero at 200. So you have a point and shoot hold for anything inside of 300 yards, where the vast majority of shots occur.If you think about it, a 100yd zero is what makes sense. I also carry my rifle "dialed" for 250 walking around, but you should zero at 100. Having the fewest influencing variables on your true zero is important, and this just gets more true with distance.
100. Aside from all the great points zero at 200 makes 50 yard shots funky. Sometimes you get a close shot

I dunno. I shoot a lot of up hill and down hill shots and it seems to make a difference. Just based off personal experienceActually with most standard centerfire hunting rifles like a 308, 270, 3006 in the like, 50 yards and 200 yards are going to both be pretty close to zero. Check a trajectory chart.
