I've got an old Czech VZ24 that I've grown kinda fond of. Had it fitted with a model 57 Lyman peep site and even with desert dust in my myopic right eye, can let the water out of a Delo400 jug at 150m. (might be good further out, but who wants to carry water jugs that far when its 105*F and 30lb overweight?
)
Perhaps one of these days, I'll get a spotterscope and use it to analyze shot groups without that really long walk.
In case I don't do it that way, what's the "zero" range on that thing? (You know, the distance where the bullet, on the rise, passes thru the line-of-sight before it levels off and eventually falls back thru the L. O. S. equivalent to the 25m target with rear sight on "L" for an M-16/AR-15)
Is it also 25m or should I just take the long walk and zero to the distance?
I don't recall right offhand, but it seems like a single "click" of the Lyman is good for, like 1" movement @ 100yd. , not that it matters for the original question.
Also, how high above L. O. S is the total rise of the round? I was at an indoor range one day and even aiming low, I damaged a target hanger
(the range attendant was NOT
)
