Rifle Scopes Zeiss Conquest: Dial Calibration and Power Settin

[coues7]

A buddy of mine got a Zeiss Conquest (6.5-20x50 MC) with the #43 reticle. I've looked and looked, searched and searched and I can't seem to find any info on when the MOA adjustments on the turrets are true 1/4 MOA. Anybody know? Also what is the most effective way for him to utilize the Mil-Dot reticle?

I know MOA inside and out but don't know anything about Mils....so I'm of no help to him other than I know its probably the best reticle they offer in that scope.

There is a sticky about this. In short you have to measure your adj. at 100yd then use the actual(measured)change when dialing. The recticle is correct when on highest power. Hope this helps.

Hello,

I've got a 4.5-14X50 with mildot (#43) and I asked Zeiss the same question. See my email below, and their reply.

----------------------

At what power setting on this new Conquest 4.5-14x50 with the number 43 redical, should the power ring be set at to see proper mildot size?

Also can you email me the mildot redical dimensions?

Thanks,
Jeff

The sticky Optic FAQ has a section on checking turret cal. Lindy's second post has a link to a detailed explination. I guess I was wrong on power setting, sorry.
