Kestral 5700 set up help

[ratton]

I just received my Kestral Sportmsman/5700 and have a set up question. I hade done the compass calibration sequence.
I read the reading the direction displayed in degrees, just want to confirm the I should
Set mode to magnetic and not true north?
Set the variation to my geographic magnetic declination?

Thanks in advance

In my understanding, it is probably a minor difference but the magnetic pole is off from the true pole by some ~100miles or under.

Anyways, as a shooter you want to base your shots by the true north because that is determined by mass, not magnetic properties.

I do not believe that those values have easily distinguishable differences, unless shooting at the poles.
