50 yd zero works well enough till about 65 yds. Then will dial. With SV or CCI sub-HPs find 0.8 mils at 75, 2.1 mils at 100.
If optical axis is well above bore axis, remember to hold high at less than 10-15 yds.

50yds with hi-vel and 40yds with standards/subs. This gives me a trajectory that won’t shoot over a squirrel at midrange. You can still work with it on a bigger varmint out to 90-100yds.
Now with even more aplomb

I zero at 35yds because it eliminates hold-under.

50. Just put a 10x SWFA back on my 457 MTR where it belongs, and can dial it out if need be.
For now My 10/22 CSC has a 1-4 SWFA, but I might swap it for something with more Xs and side focus for squirrels. Once past 10 yards, holdunder is minimal, and shots over 50 rare. Don’t need more power to hit a squirrel-sized target at the range, but in the woods it’s helpful.
What fresh Hell is this?

For squirrel hunting I use 35 yards. Most others are 50 yds (which also works for 50 feet with standard velocity ammo - mostly what I shoot) and these guns typically have target turrets to allow adjustment out to 100yds/m for silhouette or other shooting activities.

The one I use most is zeroed to 50. Most of my shooting with it is at 30-50yds, and my eyes aren't good enough to be real precise with those sights, so it works.
The other is a family passdown that is about 70yds with shorts. The elevation on those sights isn't adjustable, so it just is where it is.

The one I shoot and hunt the most, 25 yards. It wears a 6x SWFA on a 20 MOA base so I dial or use the reticle on quick needs.

I MPBR ever rifle I own... https://www.chuckhawks.com/rifle_trajectory_table.htmThat would be 1.5" high at 45 yards on a .22LR
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Beldings ground squirrels are our primary target. Seventy-five yds. Good picture^^^ That's where I'm at too, as my clubs rimfire events are at 50 yards, sometimes 100, but the majority of the time we are shooting short range. Works well enough for varmint hunting too.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
