If you stick around here you'll find out quickly that the general process is to read the stickies and learn the basics before asking questions like this. Basics are covered in the stickies. Gilly mentioned filling out your profile because when you want questions answered sometimes people need information about your gun(s) / location / etc in order to give useful responses. He's not being a jerk, he's being sensible. If you ask the same question in multiple threads it will annoy people because it means you're not following respectable procedure. You want help, you gotta work with the expected process.
What range was your 1/2 MOA group at and what does it have to do with the question? Did you shoot that with the zeiss scope or another scope or iron sights? What do you mean by 'compatible' with the AR-10? It's a scope and it magnifies light... yeah, if you put rings on it then it's compatible. Are you asking if the reticle itself if compatible with the caliber of your rifle? What do you want to do with the rifle - hunt? target? tactical matches? Need more information to answer your question. You just joined - good, but you need to ask a full question with some background facts to get an answer.
By the way, I have a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x with the z600 reticle on my 270WSM and it works just fine for big game hunting. That reticle is not a LR precision target reticle because you can't do all of the useful things that mildot and MOA (NP-R1 and NP-R2 style) based reticles offer. If you want a precision long range reticle in a zeiss scope get the mildot (I also have this on a 6.5-20x conquest and it's rather nice). As for the AR-10 I wouldn't personally get the z600 reticle for that gun unless you're hunting with it and need approximate hold over opportunities that the z600 offers.
