F-class zero

[nortac]

How do you zero your scope for F-class? Do you zero for 600 yds, zero for 200 yds and use come-ups?

 

[Ritten]

The same way you'd zero your scope for anything else. All my bolt rifle scopes are zero'd for 200yds. F-class or otherwise.

As Ritten said, get a good wind zero at either 100 or 200 yards. Then you can calculate how many MOA or Mils to come up based on bullet weight, range, etc. My rifle is zeroed at 100 yards and I know to come up 12 MOA for 600 yards. I shoot a Remmy 700 in .223.

If you have a 100 yard zero, we can put you in the black at 600 yards on the first shot. No problem.

If you have a 100 yard zero, we can put you in the black at 600 yards on the first shot. No problem.

So are you suggesting that a 100 yd zero is preferable to a 200 yd zero? I have no problem in being able to shoot at 200 yds or greater (I'm talking opportunity, not my ability).

 

[RStewart]

I think it's that most people use the 100 yard zero as their standard.

You just need a starting point from which to make your adjustments. 100 yards is easy because there are more 100 yard ranges available. If you shoot .308 w/ a 175 at 2600 fps the adjustment from 100 to 600 is 17 MOA. If you have a 200 yard zero, the adjustment is 14.75 MOA. This stuff is just not that hard. Google "ballistic calculator" and put in the BC and velocity of your bullet. It is what I do for an unknown round.
