    Good evening everyone, I just picked up a Ruger American Rancher on 7.62x39 with a 16” barrel. I’m going to mount a ATN Thor LT 3x9 320 or a Burris XTR 15.x6 to it. My problem is I’m heading to the ranch Friday night and I don’t access to a 100 yard to sight it in but have a nice 25 indoor range I can hit up before I leave. So if I sight it in at 25 yards what’s the zero going to be at 100? My longest shots where I’ll be hunting will be 100 to 150 yards.
    Thanks everyone!

    I was gonna say an inch low at 25 should put you as close to dead on at 200 as the round is capable depending on the ammo.

    Depends on what ammo you are shooting.

    If you use something like Federal Power-Shok, this is what you can expect.

    Zeroed at 25 yards

    1.9" high at 100 yards

    0.6" high at 150 yards

    3.0" low at 200 yards

    That's a 123gr bullet at 2350 FPS
    And it’s 7.62x39. A lot of loadings will share this value. Close enough anyway.

    ATN Thor LT 3x9 320 Doesn't it have one shot bore sight capability? And range correction?

    Hey guys, I got busy and forgot to post an update. I ended mounting my Burris XTR 1.5x6x40 on it. I initially sighted it in at 25 yards then when I got to the ranch I zeroed at 100yards. It shoots Dead on with Tula hp and is sub inch with Honardy SST. It’s already taken several hogs and a few Nutria rats digging in my pond dam.
    Here a pic from the day I mounted the scope. Hopefully I’ll get a few pictures next weekend with a hog or two.
