The Marsh 2 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 What sort of distance are most people setting there scopes up with 177 below 12ftlb ??? Quote Link to post
porkybella 284 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 37 yards Quote Link to post

Howie54 0 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Most people zero a .177 at 35 yards Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,584 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 35 Metres with HW97KT on H&N FTT....35 Metres with Air Arms TX200HC on AA Field. (About 37 yards in Imperial measure) In fine, still-air weather, 40 metres is a very effective zero range for hunting. Pianoman Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Blimey, I have 20/20 vision and have a good scope but I don't think I could tell where I'm aiming at 35 meters on a small target card ha ha. Having always fired and owned .22 air rifles they have been zerod at 25 to 30 yards. What's the reasoning for zeroing a .177 at 35 meters? Does it create the flattest curve?

zini 1,939 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I zero at 25 meters (27.3 yards) in .22 and 30 meters (33 yards) in .177 as a standard measurement, but really if your wanting to be really correct its different slightly for every combo and pellet you use. As long as you know your aim points it doesn't really matter though. Quote Link to post

Mawders I find it helps stretch out the effective range of the rifle without having to make over-complicated holdover calculations. But, as Si says Phil. It's really all about knowing your rifle's pellet trajectory and where it will fall on your scope over the arc. A 35-Metre zero takes care of the closer range targets to 5 metres close where you need holdover! With FAC .177 I've found 40 metre zero gives superb all-range accuracy for hunting.
