Usually for 50 yards since there’s usually a convenient bench at the 50 yard mark at the range. Though I remember reading somewhere years ago that 60 yards was really a more effective zero for most shooting than what the more popular 50 yards zero is.

Ten yards is my usual red squirrel shooting range, so that is where my 77/22 RSI is sighted for. I do have the trajectory charted out to 50 yards, but seldom if ever shoot that far with a .22.
My other auto is a .45

50 yards.
I don't shoot tree squirrels with a .22LR anymore, now shoot them with the .17HM2 'cause it has a flat trajectory out to 100+/- yards.

Fiddy yards, and the site where I do this is the local rifle range.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

50 yards with with CCI Mini Mag hollow points.
I can hit anything I’m going to shoot with a 22lr out to 100 yards with a 50 yard zero.

50 meters if I'm shooting my Annie's/Zeiss outfits. Just for the hell of it.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

Sighted in my new Browning Buckmark .22 at 25 yards yesterday. With the CT red dot sight on it, this pistol is easily 'minute of squirrel' at that range.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

I sighted in an old Remington #4 Rolling Block .22 at 50 feet today. W-W .22CB Long Match ammo. 6-700fps velociy, not much point in going out farther. But, beer cans are in trouble at least as far beyond that I can throw them.😁 I shudder to think of the drop at 50 yards or God forbid 100 yards, so I don't.

Dead on at a 100yds, is 4" low at 25yds using stingers. Bullseye at 50yds is about right for around here.

I zero my scoped .22's for 50 yards. Using my preferred hunting load of CCI Mini Mag hp's, my bullet first crosses line of sight at 25 yards and is no more than .5" above or below POA from 15 to 60 yards. With that zero I can forget about trajectory anywhere between 15 and 60 yards and just need to hold a little high on the real close shots. Perfect for small game around here where 60 yards is a long poke at dinner fixins.

In the small game forum I posted my results from hunting tree squirrels this summer. My total was 102 and my average range was 19.68 yards so I use a 25 yd zero.

50 yards for my ones with higher magnification.
Lever guns and low power scopes, 25-30 yards.
