Well I got the zeiss rapid z 600 , it was on sale and the only one they had. It's really clear. I put my cartridge in the calculator and got this. So if I chage the magnification ,that will change the POI ,with the sub tensions right? Is there a way to know how much? And if I zero at 100 instead of the prearranged 200 , is there a way to get the new sub tension POI.

Get the Strelok ballistic app for your phone. It can do all your ballistic calculations for you and will give you a picture of your reticle. It will calculate and show you the different subtensions(yardages) at the different magnifications. I heard iSnipe is good as well just haven't seen it. With strelok you can input any variable(velocity, wind, altitude, temp, zero, distance to target) and get a pic of your reticle showing your target and hold. You might need to buy the Strelok+ to calculate for any magnification(free only does manufacturers recommended) but for about $10 it is the cheapest and best upgrade to all your optics. You can save 7 different rifles each with their own scope and around 7 different loads for each rifle. And if you're setup for coyotes or targets you can input the local weather in your phone app to get even more precise.
Here is my Burris 3-9 with ballistic plex for example:
They list hundreds of scopes and reticles in the app, it can even help you choose your next scope.
I hope this helps,

I'll check it out for sure, looks kiinda like the zeiss calculater. I could also get a set of custom dials , which are pretty neat, but then I beleive the dials becomes dedicated to a specific cal and bullit weight,( in my case .223 53 g v-max) I guess you could. Not sure if that matters much . Probably no need for both any way... Thanks .... BrianGet the Strelok ballistic app for your phone.

After looking through 3 scopes, Vortex,Leupold and Zeiss. All in the $1000 range. I went with the zeiss, though at 2x10 , it had the least magnification , it was much clearer to me. I got the RapidZ 600 reticle, I know I should of got the varment reticle, but I see no problem with the 600. The the zeiss calculater works for my cartridge. Thanks to all , who gave opinions and advice. ( now I think I got it figured out
Thankyou sheep hunter for the info on the Zeiss , it is much apprieated.

No need to over complicate this. Zero at 200 and use the required magnification for longer range hashmarks...that's all there is to it. Forget turrets and iphone aps. It doesn't get much simpler that having yardage indicated hashmarks to 600 yards at 10x
