Hey guys..reposting a question I had the other day. I had one reply to it with some helpful advice, but the post was deleted when the server was changed out.
In the zeroing option, the maximum zoom appears to be 6x instead of 12x like the scope is actually capable of. Not sure why pulsar did this, but its difficult to zero a rile accurately anywhere past 200 yards with only 6x. I use hand warmers that are made to stick onto the bottom of your sock. They have a sticky back that will hold to paper at the range.
I have thought of one solution if I wanted a 400 yard zero for my 22-250 rifle. If I “zero” my rilfe at 100 yards, I know the point of impact at 400 yards will be 18.7” low with something around 0.3” spin drift without any wind. Although it would be difficult to see the hot pad I use at 400 yards, I could theoretically adjust the x and y coordinates from that of my 100 yard zero to accomplish this. However, what I am not certain of is what do the coordinates represent at 6x zoom? For example is the difference at 100 yards between Y: 20 and Y:22 two inches? If I knew this creating a long range zero with the scope would be much easier. I guess I could do some field testing to find out, but haven’t had the opportunity yet. Figured I would ask.
My other question is about the X and Y coordinates. The other day I had my 308 rifle setup on a profile and I needed to replace it with my 22 rifle for a couple days. Before I did, I noted the x and y coordinates that my 308 zeros were set up at hoping I could change the x and y back when I was needed my 308 again. It made sense to me. Anyhow..once mounting the scope back on my 308 and changing the x and y coordinates back to what they were…it wasn’t even close. I guess I am missing something….but is there a way to record the x and y coordinates on a zero profile before switching guns and then changing them back the gun is back on?
