What Distance Should You Zero a Deer Rifle: 100, 200, or 300 Yards?
Choosing the right zero distance for a deer rifle depends on terrain, cartridge, and real-world shooting distances. While a 100-yard zero works well in dense woods and short-range conditions, a 200-yard zero offers the most practical, all-around performance for many common hunting cartridges like .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor.
