I'm aiming at being 1" high at 100 yards, therefore about 1" low at 200.
Usual frustrations "How did that hole end up way over there ?", but this rifle has already proven that it will shoot straighter than my ability to aim, so can't ask for better than that.
Already corned a goat, but I stuffed around to much, the animal got bored and walked off.
That is a very comfortable zero, and will help you make some very interesting recreational shots and to rather precisely place the bullet when meat hunting.

I have come around to a zero of 1.5" at 100 yards (for discussion see Point Blank Range Revisited) but agree that the 1" high is excellent if you plan to keep your shooting within 200 yards.

Have you run a trajectory calculator for your favorite bullet weight and some alternative weights?
