Thread: Sighting in a rifle on a short range

And most of my rifles are bang on at 25, 3" high at 100, approx 3" high at 200, and approx 3x3=9" low at 300. The old 3x3x3 rule.
And I will boresight it at 25 as well so that if I have an accident I can boresight it in camp at 25 and know that I'm pretty close to the mark, then fire just one shot at 25 to verify it again.

So I have a Q on this
With you rifle smack on at 25m - when you then shoot at 100m - are the shots left or right of target - or - just high or low - hopefully you will not say all 4 :-)
