I start at 50 and then move back to 100 with mine. Mine have low power scopes, 2.5x20mm and a 1-3x20mm so I don't shoot paper over 100yds.
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

50 and 100 here as well. though to really see the accuracy mine is capable of at 100 I have to throw the scout scope upon it.
danged sourdough ramp I have on mine is just too big for an X ring at that range
I'm not a fan of the firesights as I bent one once upon a time, and that turned me off of them
don't believe that sourdough ramp is gonna bend
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I like to site most of my 45 caliber rifles so they hit dead on at about 175 yards thats because i know Ill rarely use them at longer ranges

I'm another in the "50 and 100" camp, though I will see what it does at 200, though I've never had the opportunity to actually make a field shot at that range

When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

50 with iron sights , 100 with scope. None of mine have scopes. although I;ll shoot at 100 just for laughs.

4X TRASHCO. 300 partition or horn over 60/Benchmark.
3 inches high @ 100 is good to 150 without me thinking about the yardage.
