theosmith Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 1" high 100yards same on my 17rem and 243 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregthegreat Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) First zero at 50 yds. This puts second zero at 230 yds and within an inch and a half out to 260 yds. It's roughly 1" high at 100 yds. This is using 40 grain ammo travelling at 3700 fps. Greg. Edited May 13, 2013 by Gregthegreat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 200 yards depending on load, don't rely on the inch high being bang on at 200 test it on paper. Some are well off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay222 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Mines zeroed at 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Essex Hunter Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) 200 yards depending on load, don't rely on the inch high being bang on at 200 test it on paper. Some are well off + 1 @ 200 on my .243... Quite often I switch the lamp on only to find a fox no more than 50 yards away. They tend run a good100-150 yards stop and have a look. The norm seems too be inch high at 100 yards which works for them, however this and last season a lot of foxes would only come in around the 200 yard bracket then just sit and look. It might well be a mind thing as shooting quite often is, but having the gun set at that distance works for me….

Pheasant Feeder Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Mine's set at 100m, the furthest I've shot a fox this year was approx 125m, last nights was around 50 m. Just what works for me on my land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) All my centrefires are zeroed at 200 yards, that works for me and my requirements. Zero at whatever distance works for YOU! Edited May 14, 2013 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
