You need to have the ability to dial under in case your conditions change and 'zero' is no longer lining up.

Only companies that seem to understand this are selling to the US market, (old Bushnell LRHS/LRTS, NF and a few others) and definitely not Leupold!

I always zero at 100 as all my scopes are dial scopes, but if I had a capped turret I would be 1.5 inches high for a .223 and 3" high for a flat shooting caliber that's how we did it years ago.
