Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires .22 sight in distance?

The biggest problem with shooting a scoped rifle at close rsnges is the height of the sights over the bore . And tge sad favt us a 22 LR simply dies not shoot flat enough to negate that. Actually, no cartridge really does

Lets say you sight in at 25 yards. At 10 yards you still are about 1" low due to to height of the scope over the bore.

My question is if you are sighting in for your normal shooting dustances 10-15 tards WHY would you give crap about were the bullet impacts at 45 yards if you never shoot that far?

If you need precise zeros for various ranges..my suggestion would be adjust your scope accordingly. Record the short range sight setting for "back door shots" at close range and then record a higher 25-50 yard setting for normal hunting ranges.
