Rapid Z IMO is the very easiest (quickest) way to give you confidence to make those longer shots without having to mess around with anything.
I'm a simpleton ...
I basically leave mine at the prescribed magnification (say 12 power as an example) and the lower hash marks correspond nicely to distances at 100 yard intervals. Put the 3 hash mark for 300 yard shots, the 4 for 400 yard shots ..... etc...
You get this magnification after using a chrony (highly recommended as barrel length varies and velocity from rifle to rifle) to get your actual rifles muzzle velocity and input the rest of the info like your factory ammo into the software first and you are done. The margin of error is indescribable - it's that good.
After that - leave your scope on that setting and point and shoot using the corresponding hash mark.
In a real hunting situation where time is money - this is brainless and easy.
Zeiss makes great clear and bright glass and they are generally quite light compared to similar scopes out there. You can beat them up and never worry about the scope not holding zero.
