Not going to be able to get to the outdoor range before the end of the season. I thought I read somewhere that sighting a scope in at 25 yards is equivalent to sighting it in at 200 yards; is this correct? If so does this work for all calibers (eg - .308 and .223)? I don't want to wait to sight in the changes I've made until next spring so, if this is true, I can go to the local indoor range. Thanks in advance for any help. M590man |

This says your 25 yd bullseye will translate to 2-3 in high at 100 yds and back to the bullseye at 250 yds. www.wc.adfg.state.ak.us/index.cfm?adfg=huntalaska.sightingin |
Umm that really depends on the kind of rifle - and the height over bore of the optic. Sighting 'Dead on' at 25 yards with an AR will put you well OVER the paper unless it's a very large sheet. That high (2.6") height over the bore of the optic will do that. |
Depends what you want to do. If you're shooting minute of deer, a 50 yard zero will get you meat out to 200 yards. If you're zeroing an M4/AR at 25 yards, you want to be 1" low to get a 50 yard/200 yard zero. |
