[QUOTE="NWmissouriman, post: 978323, member: 45260"] I'm reviving this thread because I came across it when looking for an answer to a question I have. Generally, I sight my rifles in from a bench with my target being roughly 4' high (or nearly level with my bench for the most part). I've got a new load for my long range rig and decided I might try something different. Due to the fact that I'll be shooting it off from a Harris bipod and from the prone position, I thought that I might zero it at 100 yards off of the bipod and from prone. My question is this, should I still leave my target height the same (4'ish) or should I move my target for zeroing prone down to say 1' (roughly the height of my scope from the ground)? Hopefully this makes sense and someone can give me some solid advice on which would be better. Thank you! Edit: I guess my question was kind of answered in the above posts, but what I really want to know is how much difference one will make over the other out to 1,000 yards? What would you guys do when zeroing? [/QUOTE]
