[QUOTE="brentc, post: 576104, member: 16938"] Short answer is yes. All rifles and calibers can use a dual zero. A 100 yard zero will never translate to a 325 yard zero as long as gravity has anything to say about it. I know several guys that run a dual zero by zeroing at 25 yards to get another zero in the mid 200 yard area. I've actually done this with several rifles, most recently a 375 Ruger when I was limited for range distance and shooting time. I zeroed at 25 yards and verified a 200 zero by popping milk jugs at 240 yards. For general hunting purposes it works quite well. You have to realize that the POI at the in between zeros range will be high and depending on the size of target you may need to compensate. For instance on the same 375 Ruger mentioned above at the 25 yard zero will impact a target around 3" above my point of aim at 100 yards, if it's a small target you'll need to compensate, but if it's a bear or simlarly sized animal, hold on hair and squeeze the trigger.
