| I have a 20" OBR with nightforce NightForce 3.5-15x56 NXS. I can either zero it indoor at 25yds or outdoor in the high humidity and wind at 50/100, whatever. Basically, because of the weather here Id rather zero it indoor even though the range is 25yds. Im no ballistics expert but Im pretty sure I should set it a bit high. The question is, how high? The longest range I have available is 600 yards, so that would be my longest shot. Its a mil-dot recticle. |

Quoted:
a 25 yard zero will equate to dead on at approx 227 yards Jack O'Connor back in the day advocated sighting dead fluckin' on at 25 knowing that it took care of about 95% of all American's shooting oportunities. For grins, I'll get one of the guys to reshoot one of the proof-group guns tomorrow. With it sighted dead-nuts-on at 100, to then reshoot at exactly 25 and measurre exactly how low it's under (in thousandths).

The .488" 5-shot group is the 100 yard zero ... The hole 2.00" under that is 5 shots at that same target pulled back to 25 yards. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/AUSTINWFT/LT%20Post/TargetforMark.jpg FTW

So I can print one out and make copys... A fellow Arfcomer and Multi-Larue Rifle owner had some of those while at the range the other day and really liked them... Simple concept, great for zeroing and working on groups... |
