[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 1946178, member: 111184"] It depends as I have four LR rifles and IMO four key factors are: the bullet and its ballistics/trajectory, the elevation of the rail @ 0MOA to 40+MOA and beyond with the adjustable rings the tube diameter - I started shooting in the 70s with a 1” scope, now I’m up to a 35mm tube (elevation), and the terrain at 1,000 to 1,250 yards; the terrain’s elevation net deviation. In the 70’s, I zeroed at 200 yards and knew how high my shot would be at 100 yards so it’s easy to sight in at 100yds ~1.5” high. For me today, with a 20 MOA picatinny one-piece rail and a big tube, it’s a 100 yard zero & a ballistic rangefinder. And there are 200 or 300 yard zero for some. What are you comfortable with? I grew up with Battle-sight zero & Field & Stream’s kill window and now it’s MPBR :) [/QUOTE]
