22lr 1" high @ 25

[BenBhoy]

Drinking my morning coffee, I had a look at some printable targets (whatever happened to looking at pornhub first thing??) and saw these

Now I'm well aware zeroing high benefits etc zero my 204 1.8" high at 100.

But what's the thinking behind 22lr high at 25? Is it just for those who don't have access to a 60yd zeroing area? Cock on at 25 will get you second zero around 50yd I'd think. Anyone zero their 22lr high?

 

[Cyres]

Mine is zeroed at 50 yds and is also spot on at 20 yds. Using Eley or Winnie subs. At 10x at 100yds 2x mil dots low.

pornhub? completed it mate !

i zero my 22lr at 50m and it's a smidge high at 25m but to be fair i tend to dial for anything over 50m as it has a 5-25 schimdt and bender PM2 on it

 

[Will the chippy]

I've got a hawke 22lr reticle. Zero at 50 and it's bob on hitting the marks out to 125 +

I broke my harddrive & now rely on a 3½ floppy....

I claim my £5!!

Mine is zeroed at 50 yards and is slightly high at 25 yds

Fine out to around 75 yds

 

[villaman]

Zero @50 yards then I’m lazy and let the Zulus do its thing

 

[Foxyboy43]

Mehhhh. Just buy a .17hmr, zero it at 50 then fire and forget….

Yep my .22 is now redundant now that I've Aplex 4k on the HMR

Why ...they are fantastic.
I've been shooting rabbits and hares out to 145 yds.

Pack a punch that's for sure .

Think i was expecting too much of it. Needed a consistent 200-250yd corvid rifle. Was never intended for rabbits (I won't shoot hares) as all my rabbit permissions are small paddocks.

I swapped it for 17 Hornet. That's currently with a gunsmith to recut & thread. If that sorts issue with rifle then it'll fit bill better for my needs. From 1st march I start carrying rifle in gator with me for spring, if hornet not ready by then I'll use 204, that'll do crows at 200yds

 

[bowji john]

Zero at 70m with my CZ 452

I know that the first shot out the barrel goes 2.5” high in the winter (not so much in summer)

No such issues with any other .22LR rifle of mine

So I don’t deliberately zero high (why would you?) but the bloody rifle just does it for me

200 - 250 yds is asking a bit too much.

Why only carry the rifle from 1st March , surely there's corvids about in Feb too

The sheep - and therefore the shepherd - are probably indoors in February. Not until the lambs hit the ground and are turned out in March is there any need - or time - to be doing regular outdoor patrols.
(That's the case here anyway, and I think @BenBhoy's routine is likely to be broadly similar).

Not attacking the lambs then. I did lambing in South Uist, bag of vetty stuff on left shoulder .22LR on right. Never hit anything, but it meant the hoodies were more wary

Plenty sheep and lambs outside up here .
