what range do you sight for?

[PE90SHOOTER]

Standard for me is 3"@100 too. Generally a 200 zero for my non-magnums and a 300 zero for my magnums (big game rifles).

 

[todbartell]

1.5-2 inches high at 100. That usually puts me close to a 200 yard zero, and usually 6-12 inches low at 300, depending on my rifle.

basically sums up what I do too

 

[pharaoh2]

So why not zero for 200 if that's where you want to end up?

What's the difference? Is there magical tree fairies where you hunt that place markers telling you which tree is exactly 200 yards away?

This has worked well for me, as I usually set paper at 100 yards, and hit silhouettes at the longer ranges. Whether or not my actual zero is bang on 200 or not, I still know what my rifles will do when I need them to do it.

I ususally sight using the 'PBR' method; sighting such that the bullet is never higher than 4" above line of sight, giving me an MPBR that varies with caliber. For the 7mm08, this means a ~+3.5" zero at 100 yards, zero at ~250 and -4 at a little over 300

 

[Scott_N]

I usually sight in for about 2.5" high @ 100 yards, which puts the actual zero at about 250 - 270 yards, depending on which rifle.

 

[carew]

It depends on the country im hunting and what gun im using. Usally two inches high at a hundred does good for me or dead on at a hundred when im doing bush work.

Is there magical tree fairies where you hunt that place markers telling you which tree is exactly 200 yards away?

Why yes, and her name is Leica.

 

[pharaoh2]

Leica is a slut. I touched her once inapropriatly. Pushed her buttons, she told me all the right things, then I realized she costs too much.

 

[Amphibious]

zero for a +/- 3" PBR

 

[Lazy Ike]

I shoot a MAGNUM so I just 0 @ 20 yds and it's flat out to 600yds.

 

[prosper]

Actually, you're not too far off...

at 20 yards, the bullet is still rising with respect to the sight picture (the scope is ~2" above the bore, after all).

Zeroed at 20 yards, a 7mm Mag would continue climbing to a maximum of about 11" at 250 yards, and be zeroed again on the way back down a little past 400 yards

 

[catnthehatt]

200 yard zero for most of my rifles that don't have turrets.

[Pblatzz]

I sight for 100 yrds, and shoot at 200 yrds. This is so I know where I am hitting.

 

[Grizzlypeg]

Zero at 200 and its approx 1 1/2 high at 100 yards and 6 inches low at 300 with a 300 WM shooting 165 grain at 3100 fps.

 

[hakx]

I zero @ 200 yards for my hunting set up, but I am spending A LOT of rangetime (and ammo) getting aquinted with my laser rangerfinder and determining presets with the Target turrets for the varmint rig past 200 yards.

 

[J Stuart]

What range do you sight your hunting rifle at for all around hunting? i usualy set mine all at 100 sometimes 200

240.

 

[BigUglyMan]

200 unless it's an iron sighted rifle, then 100.
