Re: Zero distance for .22 LR
for my standard silhouette rifle, i zero at 43.6 yards which is the first target in rotation.
for my other all around rifle & silhouette hunter class rifle it is set at 25 yards (for squirrels and such) and then i adjust upward from there. for that particular rifle and ammo setup, it just works well, even if switching to remington cee bee's for yard pests.
i used to keep both at 50 yards, but rarely do i shoot at that distance other than the couple rimfire matches here on the hide.
my next rifle will be zeroed at 100 yards and be strictly set up for 100 to 200+ yard shooting. this will save cranking up the scope as much and have less wear on the optic turret mechanicals.
my .22 mag is set at 50 yards, as it is mostly used for hunting turkey provides a good neutral distance without too much adjustment between 40 and 60 yards. from there i know it's just a meager 6 clicks to the 75 yard mark, and 2.1 to 100 yards. when used for squirrel and close in critters, no adjustment is needed but a 1 mildot low hold on 4 power.
