Sighting in a .223 for Predators
« on: December 18, 2012, 02:44:21 PM »
What distance would you guys recommend sighting in my .223 at for good overall alignment.

I am using a Savage Edge .223 with a BSA 6x24x40 Contender series scope and a BiPod

Thanks in advance.

You better move it up 6 inches because you keep blowing the legs off of them. ;D ;D

1.5" high at 100 is right on at 200 and 6"  low at 300

1" to 100 YRDS  for me, Most of my Shots  are within 150 Yards Everyone has there preference.  you weapon of choice, becomes apart of you and youknow its limits as well as your limits to place your shot. I do like the    1 1/2" at 100 for shooting ground hogs for dead on at 200, but Yotes I myself like that shot to be within 150  with limit of light or I don't take the shot, Them Eyes of mine ain't good as they once was ;)
