Caldwell lead sled or higher mag scope?

[Nandy]

Just left range today. The method using the sled of aiming at o taking a shot. Continue to aim at o but move your reticles to be POI of you last shot. Set POA back to o should be pretty close if you didn't change you POA. Down side for me is I don't have tactical turrets, mine require using a nickle or screwdriver as its just a little recessed slot. So it's impossible to keep POA (look through the scope) and adjust sites at the same time.

Long sorry short The Nikon 3-9x40 kit scope is inadequate for my needs. Will upgrade to better scope.

Why are you doing that to zero your scope? Lookt at your impact and make adjustments. Lets say your impact is 2 inches high and 1 inch to the right at 100 Yds then you move your adjustment 8 clicks down and 4 to the left.
Every click in that scope will move your impact 1/4" at 100 Yds so just do the math. I am sure that is the most effective and used method.
