Spend some time on balistic calcuators. Nikon Spot On is one. 1.75 is lower than I would expect, but not alot.

How your scop is mounted, effects it. But I don't expect it to equal the height at 25 yards either.


Play with a calculator. Do some some shooting to know your rifle. Decide what you can live with. I hunt in heavy bush and like a tight path. Field hunters, shooting lungs, may go with a bigger arc, or point blank range.
