Title: What Zero for 22 WMR
Post by: Whitefeather on January 06, 2011, 12:22:36 PM

I am borrowing a 22 WMR to hunt fox in 5C. I never owned one and have relativly little experience with rimfires.  What would you recommend distance to zero, so that at 50yards or say 125 yards I have no more than 1.5" hold over or under?

40gr HP CCI 1875 FPS

I have my marlin 982vs zeroed at 100 yards, and it groups a quarter on a calm day. Real windy the other day when I shot, and grouped a silver dollar. I mainly shoot the 30 grain v-max that gives me the best results.

Good info...Also makes me real impressed with the point blank to the 100 yard range of the 22WMR.
