I have been impressed with this spotting scope and like the H32 reticle. There is one problem though. The top of the reticle is 5 mils below the center point of the reticle. I understand why they did this for observation purposes but now I have to aim the rangfinder 5 mils down. My plan is to aim at top center point of the reticle at the max distance my rangefinder will pick up. It is a pretty bad ass rangefinder (Wilcox Raptar. Thanks Wig!) and I think it will push out to 4000+ meters in ideal conditions but shooting for 2500 meters. Will be at night with a pvs30 in front of the scope.
My reasoning is that zeroing at a hundred yards is a no go because beyond that the beam will aimed downward so much that anything beyond that will be way off. If it is zeroed at max ranging distance to the center top of the reticle (5 mils below center) it should hit all targets in between.
Have any of you guys tried this or something similar? I will be mounting the raptar on the top of the spotting scope.
