zeroing a cz 452 .17hmr

[adamthomas64 1]

hi as stated im about to zero a new scope to my .17hmr and im after some advice, i first zeroed it in on a 100yrd range, so no problems, but im going to be zeoing my new scope on one of my permissions and am after some advice,for example, if i zero at 50 yards will that be the same zero for 100yrds ect, also what do you guys use as a backstop when zeroing? any help would be much appreciated

 

best regards adam

this topic has been covered well in older posts mate also some nice chaps on here have given links to the zeroing of different ammo

i asked the same question when i bought mine at xmas(marlin.17hmr),some told me to zero at 35yrds and this in turn rezeros @125 yrds so i did and ive had lots of game from this range as for a back stop i work in heavy industry so got some 1/4"plate same size as a4 paper so when you download targets off targetz.com

they fit to your sheet of metal,also i drilled the four corners and put some thread bar thru it and can push this into a cam side or round bail if you have them available on you permission

Hi Adam,

 

Have a look here http://www.varmintal.com/17hmr.htm you'll get all the info you need, it's very interesting with plenty of info.

 

I have a .17HMR myself and love it.

Hi Adam, my HMR is zeroed to 125 yards i think it was actually a 35 yard zero to acheive this , if your coming down to our farm permission

there are a couple of fields which have very high bankings that make great backstops .

Give me a shout when you come down and i can either direct you to them over the phone or i can come over and give you a hand (if i'm not working)

I,m pretty happy with it , 150 yard rabbit is my longest shot so far ,

shooting remington gold tips very accurate indeed

Not that many to be honest , only ever take 2 at a time when i go out as they are just for the pot , have given them a rest for the last few

weeks to leave them breed , been out with the shotgun last couple of times after crows instead.

what sights are you using on yours now ?.
