Gee you are a helpful wee vegemite Scouser.

So I added spaces and got a literal translation of "Favourable On Shooting Distance". What that is supposed to mean I am not certain....

I think, as Striker says above, it somehow means the most favourable zeroing range, but that doesn't tell me what exactly that distance is. I mean, we can 'assume' it to be 300m but if you've ever watched the movie 'Under Siege 2' by Steven Seagull, then you'll soon get a feel for what 'assumption' is, and, in ballistics, ours isn't to assume anything, we have to be sure of our facts!

Who would, half way through writing instructions in a certain language, suddenly change and choreograph some other language in and expect people to understand? They'd, or we'd, be better off if they wrote something like *300m, and somewhere else wrote (*most favourable zeroing range) or something of that nature, and as you say timattalon, I too aren't sure what that's supposed to mean!

Anyway, thanks for you guy's help. I guess I'll just have to die not knowing exactly!

better get the depth of their Gee as well? It may solve the dilemma?

Well, there's your short but wide GEE, your deep but wide GEE, your short and narrow GEE, your deep and narrow GEE, your perfect GEE and the all too common dried up GEE.

So really, Leica would be better off sticking to plain old 300 metres as you'd know exactly what you're getting before you used it.

Could try and e-mail Leica and ask them straight out what it means, it is rather odd though should just stick to what people know.

Lol I think I just figured this out....
GEE (most favourable zero distance) is listed at the bottom of the graph in meters (and the top). It is in reference to what "EU" you end up using. For example; if you use EU 9 - then your GEE is 154m (your recommended zeroing range for that formula). Can someone back this up or let me know if I'm wrong. Cheers.

Just Googled it and got this:


"Urban Dictionary: Gee
Urban Dictionary: Gee
Top Definition. Gee. Dublin slang for female genitalia. The whack of her gee was brutal ... Gee. Irish slang term for a vagina. "Mary is a complete pain in the arse."


I fail to see how any of this correlate's to hundreds... at any rate, I'd prefer to see '300' myself![/QUOT
What does 'whack of her gee' mean

Whack means smell
