Morning Guys but this is proberly a really stupid question
but what is a good distance to sight my .22 in at ?
50-75m
just about right for rabbits
I sight my .22's at 25 metres and then check the drop at further ranges up to 80 metres...an 80 metre shot at a bunny is at it's extreme...and yeah, yeah we have all pinged off a lucky shot way beyond that.
Mines 25metres also.
Sweet cheers Guys
60m with subs, then your pretty good for aiming straight at them ish from close up and out to 75-80m ish. note the ish
ok so too add on i have a 3-9 x40 scope with the adjustable paralax setting if sighing in at 25mtr
where do i set that ?
I doubt the markings are accurate - what you want is that the sight doesn't move around the view if you move your eye around - i.e. the whole picture should stay still (or near too it)Quote:

How far can you throw a fist sized rock? That'll do.
Well, that's a change...I would have thought you would have said "how far can I throw a Waikato stubby"...in fact you have been plugging the brew that much lately I thought you had taken a job on as a rep for them.Quote:

I sight mine bang on 75y with high velocity.
Yep 70 metres gives you everything
Nah Spook just trying to get a rise out of our South Island cousins but it hasn't been working.Quote:

Subs are on at 25 then on again at 50 and about 4" low at 75.
