Thank you gentlemen.

I haven't taken the Ross DR out to the club where I do my "long range" (200 and 300 yards) shooting with my bolt rifles as yet. I have the feeling the gun is way more capable of shooting nice groups at 200 yards than I am with my eyes looking through the old Dr. Gerard fixed 4X scope. It may be as simple as me just spending more time with the gun and getting use to the sight picture, given it's so different than anything else I have. In particular I haven't been all that consistent at 100 yards holding the tip of the vertical post on the center of the targets I have been using. At 100 yards the vertical post is as wide as the eight inch black of the target so side-to-side alignment is easy. At 100 yards the orange center of the target is a little speck so as long as I can see the tip of the triangle in that little speck I'm good. At 200 yards I imagine it will be a little more of a challenge depending on the target I use but I won't know until I try. I currently have the gun zeroed with the tip of the vertical post in the center of the target at 100 yards. My ballistics calculator says that at 200 yards my previously mentioned load will have the 139 grain bullet dropping 4 ¾” and at 300 yards it will drop 16 ¾”.

Below is a substantially enlarged view of what my 100 yard target looks like:
