A quick question.
When sighting in a new rifle, if a bullet strikes 1 inch high at 100 yards, where will it strike at 30 yards?
The reason I ask is I took my new rifle to a gunshop who supposedly sighted it for me so it would be near enough on target at 100 yards.
Turned out it was shooting about 3 feet to the left and i ended up wasting 19 bullets sorting it to hit the target which was about A3 in size.
Scope is spot on I took it from my old rifle so i know its not that.
Went to the gunshop ( a different one) to buy more bullets and im going to zero it tomorrow. Just want to know so i can waste less bullets tomorrow.
cheers
