For the former, I'd sight in for the what should be the Max Point Blank Range (MPBR) of the rifle, which for a 130 grain SP at 3000 fps (typical for a factory load), that's a zero of about 250 yards, which puts the 100 yard impact 2.6" about the line of sight, with a MPBR of 290 yards. This is with a +/- 3" kill zone, meaning that from the muzzle to 290 yards the bullet will never be more than 3" from the line of sight. Any shot within 290 yards you can hold dead on and still hit the vital zone of a deer.
