What's the rule of thumb for sighting a .22 with iron sights? distance, size of groups, dead on? inch high?, etc.


Here's the scoop: I have an older .22 without a scope I recently zeroed at 25 yards off a sturdy rest and sandbags. I had three shots in a one inch circle, but an inch high. I couldn't take the rear sight down any further as it was on the lowest setting. I was using remington thunderbolts.

I use this rifle to stillhunt squirrels in the woods.
