Old school .22LR zero
« on: May 03, 2011, 06:12:29 PM »
I was talking to an older friend about where to zero a scope on a .22LR.  He told me that .22LR should be sighted in at 22 paces.  That's what he always did.  Makes a lot of sense to me and easy to remember.

that would give you a zero at 22 yards and at 50 yards.

I sight mine in at 18 yards exactly. That gives me a zero of around 65 yards with a midrange height of 1".

obviously it depends on the ammo used but I think it puts you dead on at 60 yards.  top of the arch about 1/2" high at 40 yards, and about 1 inch low at 75 yards.  in my book this is about perfect for just about anything.

I guess I am an oddball. I zero at 100 yards with a milldot scope set at 6 power. First milldot up for 50, crosshairs for 100, 3rd dot down for 200, and 6th dot down at 300 but set on 4 power all using standard velocity ammo. A 22lr may have short little legs but they are capble of more than the 50 yard dash.  ;D    Here is a 300 yard group using standard velocity ammo with a weak crosswind, 19 out of 20 hit paper. And a 200 yard target with 40 rounds in it using the same cheap standard velocity ammo. Im sure good ammo would tighten up groups some and if I could shoot worth a darn would help even more.
