[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 894304, member: 2736"] I personally think It's a waste of time, ammo And barrel life siting anything in at 25 Yards, even a 22 Rim fire unless that's the maximum distance you intend to shoot. I think that siting in a 25 yards is a feel good about your self and the rifle. and have seen people use the targets to show the tiny groups and state that they are 100 yard groups. IMO 50 yards is minimum foe Rim fires and 100 yards is minimum for High power rifles, with the intent to check at longer distance (At least 300 yards). Also If you site in at 25 yards the zero at 100 yards will be very high because the bullet will cross the sites line of site around 75 yards and in order to be zeroed at 25 yards the scope must be adjusted to the already 1 1/2" difference just to hit the center of the target. I would not call it bull **** because if a person wants to waste there time this way they can. 100 yards seems to be a good distance for checking the loads consistency/accuracy and does not require a lot of shooter skill. when the distance is 300+ yards everything comes into play. Loads, rifle accuracy and shooter ability. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
