Ruger 10/22 Burro Canyon

If this is your first time zeroing a scope I would suggest you start out a 15 yards and then slowly push the targets back. It will be a whole lot easier as you learn how to make the adjustments. Visit your local indoor range first before heading to burro.

Well, I plan on testing out my new Beretta 92 and plan on shooting my PTR-91, this is my girlfriends rifle. Iv shot my PTR indoors and it just did not feel right, needs to be outdoors, Burro is the only place where I can do a little bit of everything at different distances. It also close to home! lol

This will be the 1st time I zero a scope for a 22, at 100 yards can you see the small holes on paper???? is 100 yards to far to zero for a 22? maybe 50 yard zero makes more sense? I'm a centerfire rife guy, venturing off to the 22 world.

Depends on the scope magnification and your eyesight. With a 4x, 3-9x you will not be able to see .22 holes on black bullseye @ 100yds. With 16x probably, 24x for sure. Again it depends a lot on how good the scope is (optically) and your eyesight. I would suggest zeroing at 50yds at first, much easier to see the holes. Then out to 100yds your bullet drop will be 6-8" depending on the type of ammo (subsonic, standard velocity, high velocity or hyper velocity). You will probably not need a lot of windage adjustment when moving out to 100yds, only elevation. For a scope with 1/4" per click just adjust up by 28 clicks to go from 50 to 100yds and that should get you on paper and close in elevation.

If using a low power scope I would suggest those Shoot-n-C targets. Makes it much, much easier.

Nice, great tips, Will try that out. The Scope was a gift so I know little about it, tomorrow I will dive into it and see what I have going on

I was going off their FAQ's. I think the right side of the pistol range is longer than 45 yards, of course I never shoot my pistol further than 20.

Oh yeah. Most of the pistol range is 45, but the far right goes further...but I generally don't shoot at the far right, so I didn't think of it

I zero my scope at 25yds with 1 bullet. Never need more than 1 for any rifle or scope.

Assuming the usual 36-40 gr round at 1280 fps and iron sights with a 0.75 front sight height above bore centerline, a 50 yard zero is .4 high at 25 yd, 0 at 50 yd, -2 at 75 yds, -6 at 100 yds, -12 at 125 yds, -20 at 150 yds, -32 at 175 and -48 at 200 yds, so with a short range zero even 100 yards is a stretch.

+1, this is what i am doing with my new to me 1973 Glenfield/Marlin 60 tube fed semi-auto. Field Time in Stanton is 25 yards so i am using that before i head out to Burro.

[Socalman]

Yes, you van shoot your 22LR on the pistol side at Burro. I am a member there and have shot the 22 rifles in both areas.

[serjm1a1]

so I took the 22 to the range, slapped the scope on and it was pretty much zeroed! it was pretty awesome, my lady friend was popping clays at 100 yards with a slight hold over, my guess is that it will be dead on at 50 yards

Rules are...
- No pistols on the rifle range, rifles only
- Any "pistol caliber" weapon can be shot on the pistol range, this includes lever rifles
- Shotguns on the pistol range only

Private ranges can shoot anything legal for CA... rifle, pistol, shotgun...

I know there is something about black powder but I can't remember what it is.
