What is the best distance to sight in a 30-06.....100 yards? (hunting riffle)?

Mine came with not sights on it. Just a scope mount. Any information would help.What is the best distance to sight in a 30-06.....100 yards? (hunting riffle)?
If you want the best point blank range you'll have to look up the answer on a ballistics chart. For factory loads you'll need the type bullet, manufacturer and caliber. I hunt mostly woods and I have mine set to a 200 yd zero. This was done to maximize my pbr for deer sized kill zones (9';). Most of my shots are short but it's nice to know I can aim dead on out to 250 yds and make a clean killing shot.





If you reload you'll need barrel length, type bullet, muzzle velocity, altitude, temp, barometric pressure and so on.What is the best distance to sight in a 30-06.....100 yards? (hunting riffle)?
Depends on at what distance you anticipate you'll be taking shots at. For hunting where you can't see more than 150 yards sight it dead nuts at 100, but if you'll be in open country for game like antelope or mule deer where you may see a good buck at 300 yards go with longe range sighting at 200. I have my 7mm mag hitting 2.5'; high at 200 yards which puts right where I want at 275. The 06 isn't as flat shooting but is an excellent big game cartridge, just learn your rifle and bullets ballistics and always fine tune your sighting with the ammo you will be hunting with.
Unless you are hunting out west or on pipelines where a 200 to 300 yard shot is common, a 100 yard zero would be ideal.. This would still let you aim dead-on out to 250 yards with the 30/06.If you wish to go a little farther zero it in about 2 inches high at 100 yards and it will get you out to a tad over 300 yards by aiming dead-on.
At this point in your development as a marksman and hunter, 100 yards is a good spot. When you gain experience you'll discover it's a poor choice, and you'll become interested in concepts like ';maximum point blank range.'; But there's no hurry, so take some time, limit your shots to about 150 yards for now, and you can enjoy your new rifle. Once you have the basics down pat, then you can work on the fancy stuff.
start at 25 yards to be safe. get it center then go to 50 yards get it to center up and down. go to 10DSds and check center and height. then try 200 yards to see where you are at that distance. no you know where you are going to be comfortable shooting at.
Most people use 50, 75 or 100 yds...depending on your expected use. For a .30-06 I'd say 100yds....In the Marines we would generally zero our sniper weapons at 200 yds (sometimes 400, sometimes 600), but that is a horse of a different color.
I typically sight in rifles that push 3000 fps at 200 yds. It lets you hold straight on to almost 300 yds on deer sized game. You can also sight in 2'; high at 100 yards and do about the same thing.
Yes its 100 yards.* The Vast Majority of Big, and Small Game is harvested within 100 yards or closer.*
I sight in at 2 inches high at 100 yds. That gets me in the kill zone out to 200 yards without holding for distance.
I agree with long shot. 2 inches high at 100 yards. Good luck.
i sight mine in at 100 yards
