What yardage do most of you zero your scopes at?
Thanks for the tips on rifle/scope recommendations that I posted earlier this summer. I went with the Tikka TX3 Lite .270 topped with a Luepold VXI 3-10x40 and I have Caldwell bipods mounted on it. I took it out this week and did some shooting, it was a lot of fun. I was shoot 130 grain bullets.
First I zeroed it in for 100 yards, but felt that at 200 yards there was to much drop. So I rezeored the scope in at 150 yards. By that point I had shot about 25 rounds or so and decided to hold off as my shoulder was feeling it a bit and I want to start fresh again the next session. I feel really good at 150. I was shooting really good groups from the start just with having it bore sighted, I just needed to mainly adjust left and right mostly.
I'm thinking maybe I need to zero it in at like 175 or 200 as most shoots from what I hear are around 200 yards. I do wish I could zoom in the magnification a little more.
