Sight in for about two inches high at 100 yards. That puts you right at dead-on at 200 and about six inches low at 300.

No argument against the variables, but a decent fixed 4X scope will do plenty okay for deer hunting. When hunting, most folks set variables down on the lower magnifications for the wider field of view. The advantage, mostly, is to see bullet holes in the target when sighting in.

You don't need the higher magnification to judge a deer. That's supposedly already been done with your binoculars. Sometimes what's thought to be a deer turns out to be a person. Me, I get sorta grumpy if I see somebody checking me through his scope, looking to see if I have horns.

The great majority of deer are killed inside of 200 yards...
