how far do you all site your .17 in at?

[BIG FOOT]

could i get a little feed back on how far you guys are zeroing you're .17s at ?
 i kill squills :wink: at anywhwere from 5 to 50 yards,crows from 50 to 175+
 fox from 20 to 100 yards, coyote at around 50 to 100 yards,and whatever falls in my legal bag of critters at the present time.
 before i had a problem with some crazy poi's because i have about  1 5/8 inches from bore to center of scope. i had a scope with no target turrets and i was looking for a good  zero so i had not much more than an inch or so hold over or under ,and i still wasn't happy doing this because my gun really drives tacks! so now i have a scope with adjustment, if i zero it at 100 i have to add some vert adjustment,and if its under 100 i have to take away... right ?
 is there any way i could zero the gun in for 25 yards and just go up from there or will i run out of adjustment too quickly?

Maybe this chart will help.

My .17's ballistics are a little different from the chart, and I'm using a borrowed Bushnell scope; I have no idea what model it is. 1.5-6x, with a lever on top that turns on a red dot for low-light conditions. Not bad, but I'd like a little more magnification.

Anyway, I have mine shooting about .75-1" high at 100yds. That puts me about .75" low at 25-30yds, zeroed at 50yds, and the next measured distance I have is 200yds, where I'm hitting about 4" low. So I'm guessing it's back to zero around 150yds or so. All of those are using the Hornady loads.

I like anything I sight in to be about an inch high at 100 yards to allow bullet drop at up to 200 yards. If you do that, I think you could hit anything out to 200 yards and closer.
