i have a savage semiauto,varmint barrel. if i sight it in at 50 yards, what will it do at 100?how much will it drop?

Josebd,

There are a lot of variables, like what velocity ammo you are using and how high the scope is mounted. For Standard velocity ammo it usually runs about 8 inches at 100 meters or about 7 inches at 100 yards. Again these are just rough estimates and the only way you'll know for sure is to go try it.

Hope that helps,
Jim

On both of my rifles with Eley ammo, my normal sight changes are:

                     min change         total from 0
Chickens             0                         0
Pigs                    2                          2
Turkeys               2                         4
Rams                  4                          8

I always check my chicken setting and then the animal I am going to start on.  The only one that changes much at all is the ram setting.

From my experience if you sight in on pigs,  you will be about 4 inches low at the ram distance.  This is with standard velocity ammunition.  and about 2 inches low on turkeys and about 2 inches high for the chickens.  don

At my website I have a page called "scope adjustments and ballistics" that will give you a good idea.
