Solway66 Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Hej im new here and my first question.... Im les born and raised in scotland but i been living in sweden for The past 30 years. Most of my hunting nowadays is wild bore around 90 % of The time. Then moose red fallow and roe deer not to forget The Foxes 😎. My question is.... I always sight in a new scope at 1 inch high at 100 meters that makes me bang on at 30 meters bang on at 150 meters and never more than 1 inch out up to 150 meters soooo The question is If I just sight in at 30 meters is it The same??????

Weihrauch17 Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 You are better zeroing at the longer range, the shorter range could hide any potential issues that a longer range zero would sort. Even more so with bigger holes in the target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, in theory, and indeed that's how the manuals, or more correctly "Smallarms Pamphlet" recommended for the Enfield rifle. To zero at such and such at yards yards and that the rifle would then be dead on at one hundred yards. The "such and such" at that thirty yards was quite precise. And regardless of that I too also have always zeroed my stalking rifles at one inch high at one hundred yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
