100 Meters!!! And questions..

[EXARMYMARKSMAN]

Hi all!

I have resently brought new scope for my HW80 .22(FAC).
Its a Nikko Stirling 4-12x50AO Mountmaster.
After zeroing it at 35yds yesterday, I thought I'd try to find my 100m or yard aim point.

Well!.....I was on full mag aimed at target with bottom mil dot (of four) and the pellet strikes were low of that somewhere..so...what is the best way of me obtaining an aim point for 100 (yds actually cos of parralax!). Pref a mil dot!

My old scope.....bless it! Was an old ASI 4x32, when having a quick bash at 100m target last week with it.

........This happened.
All shots were fired from an off hand prone position with 14.3 grain Accupells (.22). with a muzzle velocity of around 750fps.
There was about an 8-10 mph wind from behind me towards the target, I wandered if the high ones could be anything to do with the wind gusting and getting behind them towards the target?

Funny how there all pretty much the same height and in a line!!

Thanks in advance

More pics to follow tomorrow.......out shootin' again!!

recentre the elevation turrent and put some film under the rear scope mount, then rezero

If you change your zero to 45yds, so that the hold under at 30 is nearer the top of the mil dots, you should have a little more to play with.

Hope this helps

I agree with Baldy, you need to have a zeroing distance further away.
When you zeroed at 35 yards did you use clicks down or up?
If down clicks were used you should do what Photosbykev said and then re zero at 50yards.

When zeroing it, I had to use quite a few up clicks! In fact it was shooting about 2ft low and a little to the left!!??
I had thought of zeroing at around 50ish!
I guess the secondary zero would be about 25ish then?

Cheers for the help so far! hope it ain't too windy today!

If you find that you don't have much adjustment left when you have got a zero, you may want to try shimming the mount with some foil or film, so that the zero is more in the centre of the adjustment.

Sorry i made a mistake

If up clics were used.... is the correct
You will not be able to zero further if you don't do the procedure described above.. (shimming)
