10-22 for the kids is sighted at 75 yds with a Bushnell Trophy 4-12x40.

Dad's old 572 is sighted at 100 yds with an old 3-9x32 Simmons, and it will do for heart shots on a feral tom cat at that range. Or at least it would six years ago when I last grabbed it for the task.

Just out of High School, I bought a Winchester 190. I kept it zeroed at 100 yds, and put several bricks of ammo through Campbell's Soup cans at that range the summer of '76.

For 50 years, I have found it as easy to hold under at midrange as it is to hold over at extended range.


People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
