Would you sight it in at 50 yds or 100yds, and you you use a ballistic program to use the Mil Dots up to 300 yds, this scope has 9 mil dots from center dot ?
That way I'm not messing with anything, and my ballistic card has all the info. Just a thought.
I have a cheap scope but it does track very well. I love the 4-16 x 44 power range and it is a 30mm tube, so it is bright as heck.

BYW, just to clarify, it is 22lr

Doesn't the 22LR start to drop FAST past 100 yards?
Seems like unless you have a very accurate rangefinder, or a very tall target, your bullets are going to very easily be too high or too low due to the steep trajectory out there...

I have a couple 22LRs set up as long range "trainers." Both of them wear SWFA SS 10x scopes with mil-dot reticles and MOA turrets. I keep both zeroed at 50yds. However, I use the turrets to dial-up at long range. In my opinion, once you go past 150yds or so, using mil hold-overs just isn't accurate enough to hit small targets (well, small considering the caliber and distance).
A rangefinder and very detailed range card for at least every 25yds (every 10yds is better) is needed if you really want to be accurate enough to impress people with a 22LR way out there.
Thank you for your input. The fact that I have a full 10 milrad graduation on all sides of my center point helps me a lot. If I sight in (depending on the ammo) at 100 yds, I'm ~1.5 high at 50. I can set my ballistics program for 25 or 10 yd increments, I'm fine with that and I do have a nice rangefinder.Quote:

I shot a lot of 22 when I was a kid, no real target stuff but 100 yds was a long way out there, I now like to stretch it out a bit further.
I'm working on my little Savage bolt as we speak.
