    if you zero 1 inch high at 100 wont it be 2 plus inches high at 50 or so, a bit impractical.

    my friend shoots a .22 mag and we always found a zero at 80m was best.

    With the barrel parallel to the ground, the very instant the bullet emerges from the muzzle.

    It's THE Law of the Universe.

    if you zero at 100 it will be about a inch high at 50 and about 6-7 inches low at 150 and 16-18 inches low at 200

    1" high at 100yards gives an MPBR of 127yards.

    When something's at 50yards you should know to aim more than an inch low...

    When I had the magnum and I mainly used it on Foxes. 1.5" high at 50 yards was the zero I used
