Zeroing a clip-on Thermal

[hairlesshunter]

Hi all don’t know if anyone as tried thisi have a new Atn Tico 6 clip-on and I was zeroing it in last night
So I made sure my day scope was on at 100 y
Then I brought the target in to 25 y
Put one more bullet through it that distance 2” low of what I was at 100y
Then added my thermal clip-on
Set distance to 25y the put another bullet through the target 2” above the first at 25y x&y it 1/ 2” right and 2” down and bobs your uncle any one go any thoughts on this

Is the question why the bullet is 2" low at 25 Yards?

Probably to do with the high of the scope cross hair is and centre of barrel I say 2” it was probably a bit less of maybe 1.3/4” I tried to keep it to a round figure to make it easier understand
It made it much more easier to zero and x&y were smaller increments

Sorry mate, I wasnt being awkward just wasnt sure what you were asking. I would expect the bullet to be low at that range ..exactly how much depends on calibre and height of scope above bore etc.

As an aside and sorry not to help Craig but......I think more people should see where their rifle shoots at short range. This time of year I head shoot a lot of muntjac well within 50m often within 25m and for head shooting, it is important to know where you are at those distances.

Tested it today. Good advice.

Sorry Mike I think we’ve got crossed wires lol I was just pointing out how much easier it was doing it that way . And Keith says it good to know where you are at short range

Sorry if I don`t understand correctly, did you actually test the add on with a target at the same distance as the zero on your day scope ?
