Still have to go below zero with a 25 yard zero just like a 50.25 yards, for the same reason 100 for center fire.
I was thinking it would be 25 or 50 yards, but then I found this article supporting a 35 yard zero, and I think I may try it. I can’t seem to find any downside to it, but then again, I’m a noob with zero precision rifle experience.35 yards
I've done the same math and agree 35 would follow the 100 yard centerfire logic pretty well.I was thinking it would be 25 or 50 yards, but then I found this article supporting a 35 yard zero, and I think I may try it.

I have never seen a check zero board supplied prior to, at a match that was NOT at 50yds.
Obviously in some scenarios you can set up your own. But if you need it and there is little time or no allowance to move in closer...its gonna be a problem.
So I say zero wherever you want. But have a plan if shit goes sideways at the last minute.
Got it, like I said earlier, too much Internet research and no practical experience... yet.Hey man, do whatever you feel works for you.
To me...that's like saying, "I zero 2" high at 100yds so I'll be dead on at 200yds".
That's not being zeroed at 200....that's just being 2" high. It's zeroed at 200yds when you have confirmed its zeroed at 200yds.
If I feel there is a real reason to question my zero that I also feel compelled to check it....I'm gonna do it right and be absolutely certain. Why? Because it's easy enough to do it the right way the first time.
You asked a question. Obvious shooters here are telling you 50y. You say you are a noob to the sport. Go to a couple local matches and experience and observe what EVERYONE is doing. I'm certain 99% of the PRC RimFire and NRL22 shooters are using a 50y zero. I'll add I am using a 50y zero for my Airguns and 22lr's for the NRL22 and PRS RimFire matches. This is because all the targets provided for Zero Confirmation at matches is at 50y.Got it, like I said earlier, too much Internet research and no practical experience... yet.

If you wish to zero at another distance due to reading it online go of it and report back to us with ho well that works for you.
I tried a 100yd zero figuring most targets at the match I usually shoot were 100yds and outYou asked a question. Obvious shooters here are telling you 50y. You say you are a noob to the sport.

Thanks, I like the idea of just being "compatible" with most of the other shooters at a match, especially if I want to compare what they have on their dope card, or in their app, without having to remember to add the .2 mil to compensate for having a different zero as everyone else.
I guess I'll zero at 50 yards, but set the zero stops 0.5 mil below zero, so I can dial down if I want to get inside 50 yards.
That should work, right???
Agreed, but the .5 will be easier for me to remember, and allow me to dial UP for everything. I can zip to the stop, then dial up a couple if I need to get to 30 yards, ur up 5 clicks to get to zero.There is only a small place inside 50 yards, about 30-47yards, where you have to dial under and only about .1-.2 mils. Everything else is up.

Got it.Wasn’t saying not to go .5 below as I set mine there also but that thinking about hitting the stop and coming up is something you should reconsider. You are dialing past where you need to be to dial back up to it. Makes no sense and takes time. Seconds count.
That labeled reticle is pretty sweet. How did you do that?50.
I have yet to find a 35 yard target where I couldn't cover it with the center and .2 up.
This is a .5" square target. Even at .25" you can cover it and get good hits. This is the silly things that you can argue about all day, or just shoot it and get hits.
