Depending on velocity Either zero at 100 yds or an inch high at 75 (which could be about the same) But wherever you sight it in at make sure you shoot it at 50, 75, 100 & 125 And write down how high it hits at each range, once you shoot it a lot and often you will learn it, but for starting out write it down and take the paper with you hunting (some tape it to the side of the stock. But you don't need to) Just have that reference along. The trajectory is no .223 so once you learn its bullet path you will know from then on. But Thats just what I would do.
And if you have not shot it at all yet, remove the scope and make sure the scope base is not loose at all -that will be one headache you can pre-fix. Good luck. thejanitor

I sight my .44 mag, as well as my .357 max, dead on at 100 yards. This is farther than the places that I hunt ever provide a shot.
