Depends where you are aiming...

If you come up to a deer in the bush at 30m and can only see the head, where do you aim?

With a 100m zero and decent scope ring offset, it's pretty simple (your bullet will hit just below your point of aim).

Do the maths....in the head. It will be that close to dead on at 25-30 yards a BRAIN aim..not jaw,not nose,not base of antler...will do the job. But in saying that I can count on one hand and have fingers left over,the amount of times it's been headshot or nothing when bush stalking.

So it's actually 1.5" high( my bad just woken from night shift) at hundy that works best for me... I discovered this by playing with the numbers for zero distance and it just so happens a 200 yard zero works best... On paper,on screen and in the field. I'm fortunate enough that my rifle shoots most loads to hover around an inch,usually better and I can fill magazine with mixture of loads and it still does it.

A 20m head shot with a 100m zero
