What distance do you typically zero your rifle at? We always did 25yds in the Army but I know some zero at 33 or 50 yards.
Literally? What kind of grouping would be acceptable at that range?Mitch Gibson said:200 yards
Interesting, I'm glad I brought this up. Are you dropping rounds through the same hole at 300? And how high are you at 50 and 25?Jesse Tischauser said:300 yards. A 25, 50 or even 100 yard group with only a 6x scope is never adequate for me. I tighten the zero at 300 then see what it does at 200, 100, 50, 25.
Heck no! At 300 I can barely see my aiming point with only 6X magnification. I usually shoot like Austin said 1.5 MOA or better is adequate. Which at 300 is 4.5". If I shoot 5 or so groups I'll usually have 3-4 rounds inside 1 MOA and one flyer. Usually 1-2 out of 5 will groups be 1 MOA. If I get lucky and find the same hold everyone I can squeak out a sub moa 5 round group.mtnman1 said:Interesting, I'm glad I brought this up. Are you dropping rounds through the same hole at 300?

If memory serves.... 25 m zero keeps every thing in a 9 inch circle out to 300m for battle sights. Some special ops and the USMC do use different distances....mtnman1 said:What distance do you typically zero your rifle at? We always did 25yds in the Army but I know some zero at 33 or 50 yards.
Up to a couple of inches, but I think anything less than 4 inches would be OK for 3-Gun. At 100 yards my rounds are about 1" to 1-1/4" high. I just picked 200 yards so I don't have any real holdovers until past that point.mtnman1 said:Literally? What kind of grouping would be acceptable at that range?
