I have a question regarding re-centering my elevation knob on a Leupold VX3. I have the rifle zeroed at 200 yards, and when I wanted to move to 300 I started doing some dial adjustment, and found I only had 12 clicks left, which was not enough to get me to 300, close though.
Anyway, the Scope has 57 MOA of adjustment, so I figured there must be some way to re-center on my 200 yard zero to give me +- ~30MOA from there. (really I would like to have 100 yards be near the bottom, and have 57MOA going up, but once I know how to re-center, I can figure that out)
I was looking at my manual, and sure enough there is a section on just this topic. I have yet to try it but basically, it says to:
Sounds pretty easy, and I think it is what I want to do. Can A) somebody tell me if this is in fact what I want to do and B) How does this work, I am guessing there must be some internal dial that tracks the position and gets reset when you hit the "ends" of adjustment.
Thanks in advance.

I was looking at my manual, and sure enough there is a section on just this topic. I have yet to try it but basically, it says to:
- Turn the elevation adjustment until it stops.
- Counting clicks, turn it back the other way.
- Turn it back the other way half the number of clicks just counted.
