.22 cal rifle zero

[M88A1]

At what range do you zero a .22 rifle with a 2x or 4x scope?

 

[Hondo]

i focus on 50 yards.....kind of a good average to begin and adjust to other distances....

 

[The Bubba Effect]

I zero at 25 meters ( 82 feet). 1/4 inch = 1 minute of angle at 25 meters.

I would ZERO the 22 LR at 50 yards also

+1 for 50 yrds

I zeroed my 10/22 at 50yds, but I suppose it depends on exactly what you'll be doing with it. If I went to a 25yd indoor range more often, I would probably zero it for that. As it is, I most often go to Roush Lake and shoot it on the 50 yds lanes, so that's what I set it up for. If you change distances a lot, I would go for a middle ground.

50 yards is a great place to start. The difference between 25 and 50 for a .22 is nothing. Either way, at least your shooting!!

Start @ 25 yards -- Then move on out to 50 yards

IMHO a 22 Long Rifle is a 50 yard gun. I do shoot ( Or Plink ) out to 100 yards, but my 22's can group a quarter at 50 yards.

I site all my .22's in at 50 yards. I only have one sighted for 100 yards.

I zero in at 25 yards because at 50 you will be about .75" high and at 100 yds you will be approximately 1" low. So from 0 to 100 yards you will be within 1 inch.

I zero at 50yds

Are you sure you're talking about .22?
I commonly see more like 8 MOA drop between 25 and 100.

My bad, I was thinking my Carbine. Here is a pretty goo bullet path chart for the .22lr at a 20 yard zero.
