My hunting horizont extends to 300m only. I have a Zeiss 3-12x56 VMV with No11 reticle (stupid, bold and reliable). My 8x68S is set 3" high at 100m, that is spot on on 220m and 6" low on 300m. In hunting situations that means I have to take care not to hold any high out to 150m, don't worry to 250m and hold on top of the back on Chamois sized animals at 300m.

For field use I have a Strelok loaded on my android :

Since shooting in mountains includes some ridiculous angles up to +- 75 degrees (sometimes even more) the most tricky situations appear when shooting close (100m) steep up/down - beware it doesn't take much to shoot over etc...

P.S. This is Stag at 400m with 12 mag and No 11 reticle (Chamois is 1/2 the Stags size)
