    Getting a rifle sighted in in Christchurch

    Hi Guys,
    I have bought a new ruger 17hmr rifle with a minox 3-9x40 scope for hare shooting and would like to get it professionally dialed in to about 100-150 yards. Is there gun shop/gun smith/business in Christchurch I can take it to who will do this please?
    Thank you for any replies and advice.
    Ian

    Hey Ian welcome to the Forum.
    Sounds like a nice rig. You should sight-in yourself so that it's perfect for your eyesight and shooting style, not someone else's! Zeroing at 150 yds would make the most of the .17 HMR.
    "Where to shoot near Christchurch?" is asked about once a week on here...one of the locals might be able to get you onto a range.
