Hi,
I have a marlin .44 mag and just mounted and bore sighted a Leupold VXII 2-7. This is the first rifle I have owned that I installed a scope so I had some questions on what distance to zero this set up. I have been told that 100-125 yards is as far as I should be hunting with a .44 mag but does that mean I should zero at 100 yards or something shorter to be more versatile. I am not completely new to firearms but until now it has always been recreational shooting not hunting so any advice for a proper hunting zero would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
