[QUOTE=~tc~;135450566]I'm sighted in zero at 25 yards, about 1" low at 35 feet with Federal 40 grain RN Gameshok.

So, I assume the 25 yds is the "first" zero - where would the next zero be? 100 yds?

A rough rule of thumb I have keep in my head for many years. By rough I mean different rifles and ammo do differently but this has proved over the years to be about right.

A .22lr rifle sighted in a 25 yards will be a little high at 50 yards. ~ 1 1/2 to 2". It will be almost at zero again at 75 yards.
~1/2" low. At 100 yards about 4" low.

The rule is 25 yards on target. At 50 yards 2" high. At 75yards on target. At 100 yards 4" low. Try this and see if it doesn't keep you close.
