I find that the mil dots on my IOR are not always the best for the random hunting scenarios. Don't get me wrong. It's a great reticle the mp 8. Sometimes I prefer dialling as you get a bit more margin of error as its exact.

@Russian 22. My rifles are sighted in for 200 yards so I don't dial until I get to 275. Only and inch or so variance out to there. Especially with a 7mm 162 ELDM @ 3K. So with that deer, even it was little and laying down, I just held dead on in behind the shoulder at 18 power. It didn't move at the shot - in fact I thought at first I had missed it. Cheers.

I suppose if you encounter a deer in the Bush you would aim for the lower half and still smack it over.

200 M zero may be worth a nudge then. Sounds like a lot less hassle.

Good recoil management if you could retain sight picture at 18 zoom!

Awesome photo's and write up!!
