Hi,
I keep scratching my head of what would be the best way to proceed. The scope is the vortex viper pst2 MOA - with the VMR-2 reticles.
An amazing glass, i love it, but, it has no reticles going up, only down.
I tried doing it both ways yesterday, first got it zeroed to 50yds, zeroed well, then we moved to 100yds range and i could not figure out what adjustment is needed there, as i think it was actually shooting way higher than i was expecting. I could not figure it out, damn, and just zeroed it to 100yds, and now i think if it was a wrong idea, as it will make it much more difficult to shoot 50/25 yds.
Gun is a tavor x95, .223 ammo. The distance from the barrel to the optical axis of the scope is about of 3 3/4". It is probably an 8th grade basic geometry problem i am failing with here - but, pls advice.
Like, what do the folks who run 3gun typically do - i`ve heard it is more common to zero such 1-6x optics for 50yds, is it true? I just feel it is more practical that way, as for such a tactical rifle it is a more realistic working distance, than a 100yds+.
Essentially i need to make a decision if it will be more practical to zero it at 50yd, but then i need to sort it out what reticles to use for 100yd and 200yd shots, or just say hell with all those puzzles and zero it by the book at 100yds, and then do some error and trial sessions to learn how to shoot it at 50yd and 25yd.
I hope it makes sense what i am trying to ask about here. The reticles are shown on page 5 of attached pdf.
