I know what you mean, I shot thirty whitetails with that rifle with that zero, and I never seemed to miss any that my crosshairs were on. I would hold center mass on ribs just behind shoulder mostly, and at any range up to 300 yds it put em down.
My Savage 110, .270 win is zeroed dead on at 100 yds with the Vortex Diamondback, Deadhold reticle. I've only shot deer up to 100 yds so far with that zero, and of course it hits right were crosshairs were held, except this years buck I shot in a 35 mph full value crosswind and the bullet moved just inches off my point of aim..
The 3 inch high at 100 yds is my preference for scoped rifles without bdc reticles because up to 300 yds it takes most of the elevation calculation out of it for me,.. and makes the center mass hold on a critter fast an easy to acquire.
