bit of a Hail Mary this one, but is anyone at Short Siberia tomorrow? I need to get a 100 yrd Zero on my .308 and was going to the Zero range, (if open) but would appreciate if someone could put a couple of rounds onto paper to double check it. Sorry about the short notice, but just had a phone call and my scope was last used at 300yrds. Ken

Just come down 4 minutes from your 300yd elevation and you should be good to go. Why would you need some one else to shoot your rifle for you to check?

I'll be at 600yds.

And when the Range Safety Compliance Officer is watching, it might not be a good idea to advertise that you might not fully understand the relationship between sight settings and distance.

If you need help, do come into the office tomorrow, ask for me and have a chat about it! I'm in from 0730.

Ian,perhaps I didn't explain things too well,if it was a case of shooting at paper I wouldn't be worried about being an inch or two off POA, however on live targets I am possibly over cautious about things being on, and I have just had a very late invitation to some stalkiing. Steve, I can reset the scope to it's 100 zero, however I would like to confirm for my own peace of mind that it is "on" as to someone else shooting the rifle, it seemed less cheeky than pushing in on someone elses range time smile2

Kenny,

I will be there from 8:30. I will be on another range but tell me what time you will be there and i will pop over to help.

thanks, but all I need is to confirm the 100 yd zero, and for that Short siberia would be ideal, the zero range as a second choice.

Ok. If you want me to come over i will, just shout ?

as long as the zero range is open, I will be over in the morning, let me know what target you are on and I will pop over to say hello

I will be on Melville mainly. I suspect that i will be one of the frozen ones !

you may be one of many
