    Sighting In New Rifle Help

    I am going to be sighting in a new 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm08. Any recommendation for how to sight them in? Should it be at zero at 100 yards? 200 yards? 1' high at 100 yards?

    1-2" high at 100 yards depending on preference, should be good

      Thanks. I probably won't be taking any shots longer than 200 yards.

        This calculator will help you out with maximum point blank range. Just enter your info and it will spit out what you are looking for.

        Calculates the maximum point blank range of a firearm cartridge fired from a rifle or handgun.

          I like to go 1" high at 100. What 6.5 did you get? Been in the market for one.

            I got the Ruger American Predator in the 6.5 and the Savage 11 DOA Hunter in the 7mm08

              I sight in DOA at 100 and use my turrets or mils for adjustment or hold over.

                25/200 is the most flat you can get in most cases.

                  Dead on at 100. Hold over for the rest

                    I'd look at the bullet drop to see what would work best for how far you will be shooting. I sighted my 30-06 in for 200yds before gong to the Laguna last year. Just in case I need to shoot out to 300yds or so.

                        Really depends on the range you will be shooting. Zero'ed at 200 and you'll be good to 250 or so without thinking about it. If your shots will be closer or you might be taking some neck or earhole shots, I'd zero at 100 or so and holdover for longer shots.

                          Will you have fixed turrets or daily?
                          What is your max distance?

                            It is a vortex diamond 4-12x40
                            Max distance is 300 yards but most shots will be 50-150.

                              Yep, use the shooterscalculator mentioned above. I bet you end up 1.5-2” high at 100
