just get it on paper at 25yds do not zero at that close distance because you are too close. Remember the center of the scope and the center of the barrel are 2-3" apart so if you try to zero at close range you really gotta point the scope down. Just get it on paper then move out. Then try at minimum 75 yds. I usually zero a centerfire deer rifle at no closer than 100 yds.
Don't pay any attention to where the dials are set at 25 yds because it doesn't mean anything that close.

You have the same issue on both guns which makes me think nothing is wrong. Ive never zeroed a gun at 25yds.
Both your rifles can kill deer at 700 yards. Don't pay much attention to what goes on at 25yds.
