[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 1941394, member: 3230"] The Hunting Zero and a link on MPBR were good; I get really tired of writers and shooters who cite the old Jack O'Connor method of 3" high at 100 is best. Such a zero normally means you are going to be 4" high from 140-180 or thereabouts, which means you have to shoot 2 inch groups in the field at those ranges or risk missing high (half the bullets are going to be higher than 4" - the exact distance they are high is a function of your ability to shoot and the inherent accuracy of your rifle). Two inch groups at 180 yards is not a problem if prone or even sitting with a bipod or sling, but generally game at that range is aware of you and/or will be if you dick around with a bipod, shooting sticks, etc. In other words, perhaps you shoot sitting with no support, or even offhand if you are that good. Most shooters cannot shoot a 2 inch group standing or even unsupported sitting at 180 yards. [/QUOTE]
