Best 308 height @ 100

[S-3 Ranch]

Fairly new to 308 , what is best sight in @ 100 yards for 150gr
1 inch or 2 inch high +/- , for general point and shoot 0-300 yards or so ?

 

[Dsnow9]

Can you sight in at 200?

2”

3.5" high at 100 gives you a zero at +/- 250 yards and a maximum point block range of approximately 300 yards.

I've never had any complaints w/ 2"...

 

[brymoore]

3”, which is what you should use for maximum point blank range.

 

[BackofBeyond]

I just sight in dead on at 200.

 

[Grifmt]

It will depend on what bullet, muzzle velocity, and altitude but for general use I’ve always set mine up for 1.5” high at 100. That puts it roughly dead on at 200, ~7” low at 3, and just under 20” low at 400.

Another vote for sighting in at 200 with the .308, makes 100 and 300 real easy...

No offense...but shoot it and find out.

This is pretty educational. So far, we have 1.5 inches, 2 inches, 3 inches, 3.5 inches, and dead on at 200.
I am gonna say 1 inch so we have it covered, no other reason.

4”.

Depends on your scope setup. If dialing or using some sort of bullet drop compensation reticle, zero dead on at 100.

Go with 3” at 100 for the 308 for best basic hunting result on deer sized vitals. Aim center of vitals to 250-275, maybe elevate an inch or two approaching 300 yds. This is more or less regardless of bullet but you might want to go to 3.5” if you are shooting an 18 or 20” barrel. Don’t fight gravity, you will probably (definitely) lose.

Also, you probably should not be taking 300 yd shots unless you have tested your rifle to at least 200 yards at the range.

Are you shooting 180 gr?

Are you shooting 180 gr?

My OP says 150gr , I am seriously looking @ Norma 180gr bond strikes after I burn through my 150gr

This is the only correct answer!

All of the other answers are only theoretical starting points that should be verified at the range.
