[QUOTE="wrad, post: 380894, member: 19441"] I'm about to graduate from sortoflongrange to verylongrange - out to about 1 mi. I am getting a new rifle w 34" barrel. Here is my dumb question for the year - it seems that a small error in zeroing at 100 yds can induce a large error at 1 mi. If I hold my rifle at the wrong spot on the 100 yd mark, I can actually be zeroing it for 97, or 103 yds instead of 100. I have not seen anything in tons of literature that tells me what part of the rifle should be on the 100 yd mark: the muzzle, front of scope, chamber, trigger, rear of scope, eye, butt of stock? I'm thinking the muzzle is the most logical choice, as that is where the bullet becomes ballistic until it reaches the target, exactly 100.000 yds away. That is my guess. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
