[QUOTE="ShtrRdy, post: 1643347, member: 40852"] You'll need to bore sight your rifle/scope before firing any shots. You don't want to depend on some impact location after simply assembling all the parts. If you zero the rifle/scope at 100 yards the bullet trajectory should rise to meet the line of sight a little before reaching 100 yards. The bullet trajectory will hold at this level through 100 yards and start dropping below the line of sight after 100 yards. Another reason for using a 100 yard zero is the air movement, ( wind ), will affect the bullet less thus giving you a better idea of where the zero actually is. [/QUOTE]
