    Yep, get it shooting bang on at 25 yards, then that should put you about 2.5" ish high at 100 (at 100 adjust it so that its hitting about 2.5" high) that makes the best use of the maximum point blank range. This means from 0 to 275 odd yards you can just aim straight at it, and you should hit it within 3" of where you are aiming.

    Even 3 inches high at 100 works well, which extends the max point blank range to around 300 yards. This is the way i use to set my rifles up before i started using diable scopes and shooting out further.

    Also when you are sighting it in, make sure you use a decent rest, sandbags etc under the front and rear of the stock, take as much wobble error out of it as you can for the zeroing. Ive seen a few blokes at the range trying to sight in just resting on their elbows and wondering why they are shooting all over the A4 paper at 100 yards - hopeless.
