if you get the box 2200fps

with a 3/4 inch over bore axis iron sights
[Linked Image]

2 inch over bore axis

[Linked Image]

now if you add the optic and push your zero to 133 yards

[Linked Image]


personally I like to sight things in for 1 1/2 inches high at 100 yards it makes for a really good zero on most hunting guns at most normal hunting distances

[Linked Image]

all of that math is great but it is all just speculation with out your actual velocity and height over bore

but for very easy work try sighting in at 1 1/2 inches high at 100 yards and see how it lands on paper at 150 and 200


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I killed a doe at 200 yards this year. Aimed right at the top of her back.


I know how people think . But why such a heavy bullet. My dad used a 30-30 for years and shot 125 gr bullets in it. 1 in high at 100. Mid body hold out to 200 = dead deer


Because it shot the best groups of the locally available types of ammunition.

I load mine with hornady 150 grain bullets over H335. When I was a kid my dad would buy 170 grain winchester silvertips. He didnt reload. Those silver tips killed a lot of stuff for me
