Zero Distances Explained - 50, 100, or 200? - By Vortex

What's your take on zeroing your rifle?

You might be surprised how much space you need to get the best zero possible. A precisely zeroed rifle that shoots well is a must for down-range performance. Join Ryan as he breaks down the 50, 100, and 200 yard zero distances and also discusses which options give you the maximum point blank distance for your setup.

I miss Jack O'Connor too but it ain't the 60's anymore.

My take is a 100yd zero and a ballistic solver to tell me how many MOA to dial.

I used to zero at 300 yards before getting a turret.

I like 1.5 high at 100. Then I don't have to touch my turrets till 250.

 

[elkantlers]

I zero at 200

 

[iowacity]

I use a 100 or 150 yard zero now as I dial turrets. I can just spin up to 200 yards to carry in the field for a quick hold on out to 300 yards.

100 yard 0

Been doing this my entire life.

How does Vortex put out a video regarding zero distances when they can't produce an optic that maintains zero? Vortex optics come standard with a variable 50, 100 and 200 yard zero without even touching the elevation adjustment. They'll occasionally also compensate for a 30 mph wind without you even knowing it.

I’ve alway ran a 200 yard zero no need for turrets tell your past 300 then run my ballistic chart.

Those of you zeroing at 200 with a turret are missing the point. Totally unnecessary and you’re only introducing more potential for error.

Zero at 100! Where you can be more precise and reduce environmental influences. Then simply twist up a few clicks to a resulting 200 yard impact (or whatever for your mpbr preference) when you hit the field.
