Default RE: what is your rifle sighted in for

ORIGINAL: Vapodog My centerfire rifles are sighted dead on at 40 yards.
This is OK if you don' t shoot much beyond 100 yards. However, I have found that it is ESSENTIAL to confirm short-range zeroes like this by verification shooting at a distance of 200 yards or more to make sure it is shooting where you want, particularly as regards to windage. Windage is often off quite a bit if the initial zeroing was done at less than 100 yards to begin with!!
