AR15RDY Report post Posted February 27, 2016 Thanks any information regarding this its greatly appreciated. I think my best bet would learn to use turrets. My zero is usually 25 yards but today I missed a really nice bobcat I glassed up in the binos and a fox. I think the distance played a major role in missing the bobcat. The fox I just missed, I shot at it right after shooting at the bobcat on the same stand so my heart was pumping and I couldn't calm the nerves after seeing this huge bobcat walk off! He just didn't like the sound in that canyon but was never worried while I was shooting at him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted February 27, 2016 How far was the cat? I always zero dead on at 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AR15RDY Report post Posted February 27, 2016 Didn't have my range finder on me but I know he was well over a 100 when I glassed him up on the binos just sitting and laying there listening to my call. All grey and white faced, he was a very big cat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AR15RDY Report post Posted February 27, 2016 I think another factor is I sighted my rifle in using 55 grain varmegedon rounds and was shooting 53 grain supervarmit Hornady rounds today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trphyhntr Report post Posted February 27, 2016 I think another factor is I sighted my rifle in using 55 grain varmegedon rounds and was shooting 53 grain supervarmit Hornady rounds today nah its cuz you were sighted 25 yards. thats good to hit center mass from 25-400 on a human but not on a bobcat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AR15RDY Report post Posted February 27, 2016 Well I'm heading to the range tomorrow and will zero in at 100 or 200 yards still not sure leaning more at 100. Any preferences on bullets? My twist rate is 1/9 so I don't think I should go above 55 grain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 300ultramag. Report post Posted February 27, 2016 I'm zeros at a hundo cross hairs worked out to be 200 and 300 makes it nice when you get a critter hung up out of 100 yds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.S.R. Report post Posted February 27, 2016 I have my .223 dead nuts at 200. With a Zero of 200 I can just put the crosshairs on a coyote from 0-300 and hit it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Report post Posted February 27, 2016 Sight in at 200 and understand what it does at 100 and 300 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniper Report post Posted February 28, 2016 Look up 50/200 battle zero with an ar15. Zero at 50 and it will be 1.5" high at 100 and back to zero at 200. For me this works best because from 0-225ish you hold center crosshairs. Just make sure you confirm at 100/200. Good luck 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted February 28, 2016 Zero at a hundred and carry a shot gun with some 4 shot. Good from 0-300 if you can shoot. Maybe further Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
