[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 624367, member: 24624"] I suppose both condolences and congratulations are in order. That's a nice rifle/scope. You can shoot at 100yds and set your zero for 100 or 200yds, or whatever distance you prefer. The general recommendation is to practice shooting to actual distances beyond what you might encounter in a hunting situation to develop confidence in your drops/precision as well as a good understanding of your limits. Since you had difficulty sighting it in at 100yds, I'd be inclined to try that on a few separate days just to make sure that the results are repeatable without having to fiddle with it. If it's a hunting profile, you may want to give the barrel 3-5 minutes to cool between shots. -- richard [/QUOTE]
