[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 3055636, member: 16869"] When helping an inexperienced shooter zero their rifle I'll have them shoot at 25 yards vs doing the bore sight. It gives them a chance to get settled into the rifle for when we stretch out the yardage. Typical Minnesota deer rifle works out about 1" to 1 1/2" low at 25 for a 100 yard zero. For myself I pull the bolt and look down the tube. Although, I still own an old Tasco collimator that actually is accurate enough to do well for non-bolt action guns. Once watched a pair of fools at the range at which I used to be a member. Trying to zero their inline muzzle loaders - while at the same time experimenting with component combinations. They were monopolizing one of the few available benches, literally there for hours, on an advertised public sight-in day, complaining the whole time how expensive their chosen components were and how fast they were burning them up. I (among others) told them the obvious but they wouldn't listen. It was the club president and one of the club officers. [/QUOTE]
