HUNTING RIFLE 200 YARD ZERO AT 50 YARDS | Savage Axis XP 308 WINCHESTER

There are some great reasons why a lot of people choose the 200 yard zero over the 100 yard zero for their hunting rifle. But sighting in at 200 yards there are more factors at play which makes it more difficult to call your shots "zeroed" especially on a hunting rifle platform. In this video I show you how you can get a 200 yard zero more accurately by doing it at 50 yards thus limiting the factors that affect your precision!
I also have another video (linked below) that I go into more detail in of WHY I choose the 200 yard zero over the 100 yard zero for my hunting rifle so be sure to check that out in the recommended videos links below.

For the people that don’t want to watch the video and want to tap away at the keyboard for no reason: He was zeroing their rifle for 200 yards but used 50 yards as a starting point, using ballistics calculations, which can be found using various apps or website by in putting the data that’s published on the box. From there the man’s trued up his zero at the desired range. Assuming that he had the true velocity this is what everyone with any sort of sense does. But I guess the YT comment section is just cracked on over complicating things that are not. Hopefully he pins this or makes another video explaining this.

Well explained. Master level rifleman here, you did a great job describing each step. You will serve many rookie shooters well. Thanks for that lesson audit! Thanks for also consulting the Ballistics App(s) so that beginners won’t be reluctant to try this method. Great job demystifying this concept! Peace Be The Journey, brown brother!

[@leonosbo]

Still a great pump gun even though it is mostly plastic, kzbin.infoUgkxh4su9YgU1tWmjikirWcKJbjsFLEU62Bc but with care it will last a long time. It would be neat if Crosman would make a commemorative version of this with real wood stock, but of course it would weigh more and cost more, but hey, it would be cool. The included scope is more of a toy, but it does work for backyard plinking. I prefer to use pellets for greater accuracy, but BBs are just as good for plinking. This is not a Red Ryder folks; fully pumped it is 3 times the power of a Red Ryder and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Be safe out there.

I like the method you have shown in this video. I'm kinda old school when it comes to sighting in hunting rifles but your method did work well for me to teach my nephew how to sight in an easier way than I do it. He has a budget 308 and a tight budget for ammo so it worked great for him. Me on the other hand I'm gonna be hard headed and stick with the "get it close and move it to 100 " method. Good video thanks for the lesson.

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

I use the same method when sighting for 100 too. Plenty ways to skin a cat! Thanks for watching 🤙🤙

[@fondelmaddick5085]

Shoot it at 200 yards, so you know where the bullets will land at that distance. Take one shot, rest a few minutes, and do A five shit group. Do this in still air from a cold bore.

[@andrewcarlson2178]

I do the same and zero at 100. That said, 1/3" from 50 to 200 is negligible when hunting

[@bikemannc]

at times I only have 50 yd range and No outside site. Thanks for a great step by step video.

I have Savage 110 fcp LE in 308 with a very heavy barel. It likes the fusion 165gr ammo. I Zero at 200yds. At 200yds she will put 5 shots on top of each other, ( if I do my job ) . I never dreamed that Savage made a rifrel that shot this well. THANKS TO THE PEOPLE AT SAVAGE, YOU HAVE MADE ME A TRUE BELIVER IN YOUR PRODUCT.

I just happened across your site and it was just a nice affirmation to what I have done since young with a 50yd zero. I have my 740 Woodsmaster (yeah, Im an old guy!) that is actually a nail puncher in .308 with the factory scope that has the the cross/post reticle which is fun to shoot. The 50/200 has always done well with my shooting as it has little rise or drop in 0-200 (average possible shooting/hunting) plus a little extra. And thank you for the update on the ammo! I still have a few old match rounds that work really well but definitely need more new gun food for it. The coefficient on the new is really good!! Again, great down to earth video and info my friend. Stay safe and well.

Yes the ballistics calculator is great. I usually site in right on at 20 yards and then I am 4” to 6” high at 100 yards and couple 2” high at 200 yards and close to zero at 300 yards with calibers .270 and up. Good video and tip!

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

Good stuff! Thanks for watching! 🙌

[@km6731]

4 to 6 inches is the difference between dead and injured deer. High back or shoulder is not fatal.

[@bobspence2440]

Got to be careful with those Mid-range shots on game with that trajectory.. I did much the same many years ago but found my hits were always at the top part of the Deer or Moose. I did lower my Zero down some , 1.7" high at 100 yards with most non-magnum cartridges will put you dead on at 200 yds , so you can just settle the crosshairs and squeese the trigger!

[@texfrancis9196]

Awesome video!

[@chrisgoff4282]

Like the video man. I bought the axis in 308 myself just for a cheap hunting rifle. It had me very frustrated at first. I filled the foregrip with resin, filled the but stock with silicone, and put a decent bushnell on it (had an old brokenone laying around and got it warranted). It's no "tack driver" but it's definitely a totally different rifle now.

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

Thanks man. Yeah she def gets the job done. My buddy did something similar to what you did with his too, reinforced the stock too with resin.

[@michaeldaltonsr8954]

Well presented point of view!! IMO, a variation p.o.v. on max point blank range, but also worthy. I've been a shooter for 65+ years. Mostly hunting/ "plinking". It is difficult to envision, identify, rectify, and prepare for the MYRIAD of variables involved in shooting. Some people choose the MANIC Long Range Perfection route, and theoretically, that is what we wish for, and work toward. However, I'm simply lazy, and "get'er done is good enough" suits me. Locally, I have been the "go to" guy for advice/ assistance, up to the proliferation of KEYBOARD WARRIORS. Now, I'm an old school dinousaur!!LOL!! But my point( and possibly/ probably your point) is that the more people feel confident, and enjoy shooting sports, the bigger it will grow/ the better off the whole system will be. TY.

Thank for the video i have the same rifle just got it and was wondering about zeroing at 50 years.

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

Thanks for watching, yeah a 50yd zero is about the same as a 200yd zero for what I’m shooting here. Make sure u check the ballistics chart for whatever bullet you’re using and compare your MPBR to whatever ranges you’ll typically shoot at like I’ve explained in the video!

[@anamericanpatriot5230]

well dang someone finally caught on ..... we've been doing this for over 45 years way back in the late 70's there was a hunting rag called Petersons hunting that touched on this little known secret and monthly put out dope info for different calibers and touched on where a bullet crossed zero for 100 or 2 or 300 yds. some were as close ae 37 yds. best to test at distance when zeroed

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

Yup, MPBR is a pretty clear cut concept. I really like the 50/200 zero for the 308

[@MaxWray111]

I have been shooting 50+ years, always with iron sights. Unfortunately, age has caught up with me. I had every intention of buying an Axis .308 at the beginning of the year, to go hunting with my son who has an AR in .308. Then I went to a gun show and found a beautiful sporterized K98k rebarreled in 7mm Mauser with a 25 year old Leupold M8 6X scope that shoots 1.5" groups at 100 yards for about the same price. I guess we will see if either round is more effective. Good video with good information and explanation.

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

Awesome, Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video!

[@kencleg7721]

Bought a savage axis 1 in 308 last year. Did not have the accu-trigger. Installed mcarbo trigger kit. Went from 4.5 to 1.5 pounds. Groups Went from 5-6 inches at 100 to 1-2 with scope that came on it. Really good, cheap rifles with an inexpensive upgrade. Love the vid my man.

Doing the same with my 6.5 Grendel and 5.56. Looking at the trajectory chart, the spread from 0-300 is best with the 200 yard zero with both platforms.

Theres a guy on youtube i seen scrolling through random videos, he hit a target at 1000 yds with the savage axis 2 with 6.5 cr, those rifles are shooters especially for the price

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

Oh absolutely, my 6.5 consistently shoots past 1000yds. This savage is a 308 though but i was also using cheaper hunting ammo in this video but I bet if I used better ammo or hand loaded for it that i could tighten it up almost if not as good as my 6.5. My 6.5 is set up completely different as well tits my match gun for competition.

[@amishjeff1]

I was very impressed with the quality and clear advice in your video. I am a newer gun owner and always have a hard time getting in at 100+ yds. Could you tell me what ballistic calculator you use?. It seems simple and straight forward. I have tried a couple others but they get very confusing. Please keep up the good work with your videos.

[@eprico2856]

I think he used SBC Light. Hope that helps.

[@johnisabeth2504]

On a 3 to 12 power scope. If there is a small error from 3 power to 12 power, you really need to sight in with scope on 12 power. So your distant shots are more accurate and the error at close range is Less important.

Pretty cool. I need to wrap my mind around adjustments after with MOA. I am guessing that if I put it in my calculator like that I should get data for adjustments.

Yes a ballistic calculator is a good place to start. Just start learning about how ballistics and all the other factors play in. Make sure u input all ur data in correctly to the calculator cos if u put garbage in you’ll get garbage out.

[@echoauxgen]

Very knowledgeable young man! For years most every hunter I know zero at 50 for a 200 zero. You will have a 2 to 3 in out to 250 or 300. To be honest every hunter in woods/thickets know you will get 99% at less than 100. Now you also will not carry a shooting rest or be on your belly you will be hand holding and sitting or standing with a tree nearby. Bow hunters are less than 50. So where on your scope do you aim with if less than the 200. Well you are good from 50 to 500 to hit that shoulder. Even if zeroed at 100 you are good. But look at some ballistic apps and you will use marks on reticles that would be used at 200 or 300 if closer than 100 and yes you can miss or just wound at 50 or even 30 if you use center of reticle. Also the real skill is the hand hold with sling around arm. Remember you will have no 4 wheeler close by so you will be dragging for a couple 100 yds. also so no chair, no tripod to carry in and out. A 300 yd shot means more drag time with a rifle on your shoulder and maybe a backpack in the dark of night. So much for the youtubers with bench rests, you have to learn hand hold zeroing!!!! Can you do it if not you will miss every time!!!

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

Totally agree! 💯

[@lornearland3018]

Good advice. The only criticism I may have is I feel like you should be grouping better at 50 yards than that. My savage 111 shoots those same size groups at 100 with a 9x scope. Have you tried holding the forend while prone? Your rifle was jumping off the bag pretty good and I know my shots get thrown off if I let it jump like that.

[@blackie1of4]

Great job explaining this method 😊 I know a lot of people get confused when I tell them.. 16 clicks equals one inch at 25 8 clicks equals one inch at 50 4 clicks equals one inch at 100 2 clicks equals one inch at 200 Provided the value is 1/4 MOA or one click equals 1/4 at 100 yards 😊 That being said.. I didn't figure that out until hunting and shooting for ten years! My father was the one who put a paper plate at thirty yards and said.. if you can hit it.. you're good to go! When my brother completed his many tours in the Marine Corps.. he straightened me out and we actually spent numerous days at the range prior to going afield 😊 That being said.. this year was the first time that I cleanly missed a buck! Didn't take branches into the equation!!! I will next time 😮

[@vicsmith4090]

Most my rifles have bipods sight in at 50 when it's on paper put rest under stock shoot reaim to center on target look threw scope turn it too the bullet hole usually use 3or4 rounds and it's done then chk all distances I intend to shoot hope this helps

[@Atothe7420]

I met people similar rifle that outperform precision riffles with $500 average rifle. It depends getting to know your rifle.

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

Agreed. Marksmanship comes before fine tuning your gear for sure.

[@Motohumter]

Lots of variables here , shot it prone with no fore end hold letting the recoil ride.Then on a tripod holding the rifle like it would usually be shot if being tascoed in the eye isn't the goal. Scope is a long way up from the barrel which never helps. Not being detrimental to your video as I'll try your advice. I have a light barreled .223 savage axis in a boyds featherweight stock that will shoot inch and three quarter groups at 200m and three inch at 300m with a weaver scope that looks a lot like the one on your gun, might be different magnification. Axis cost less than the three magazines for my tikka and shoots nearly as well. We call them a rest gun as they're too heavy to shoot freehand, unsure that makes a precision rifle though. Good video, hope it goes well hunting deer.

I shoot one shot at 33 yards. I then correct for elevation windage X 3. That puts you really close at 100. I've sighted in numerous rifles with 4 shots. There is also no need to shoot 3 shot groups at 50. One shot and adjust X 2 should do it.

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

I shoot the group because I like to take the average in case I threw any shots off which u can see I did with one out of the 3. Gives me more confidence the rifle is shooting on for when the time comes I need to shoot an a deer with it.

[@renshai1236]

Great vid...lots of people don't have access to longer ranges...25/300 or 50/200 is a decent start point for sure...Army still does 25/300 for 556 unless it changed in last few years at Benning I've always found the Axis (I have '06) to be hunt accurate (1.5 MOA or so) with a variety of loads, so really nice shooting buddy!!

Yea but that fine tuning this does help to get it there! But there is some adjustments needed after the 50 yard group! Long range shooters should always zero their rifles at 200 yards. I really like your newer 6.8 Western videos ya have out, that new barrel you have is rockin

Long range shooters should not zero their rifle at 200 yards. I shoot both PRS and NRL and I don't know a single individual that zeros at 200 yards. Hunters may often zero at 200, if that is what you mean.

Check the action screw torque on your rifle. with the groups you are throwing at 50 yards, it seems to be off a little bit. Usually 40-65in/lbs. I check my rifles by shooting groups changing the torque by 5in/lbs every group until I find out what the rifle likes.

Try 175g and up to 200g with a 20" and 1/10 twist suppressed as I have recently, I will never use 150g fed power shok or fusion again in my Howa 1500 varmint.. that SP fed ammo is inconsistant and the overall cartridge weights vary in batches aswell as the lead tip size... they always look rough and need sanding to clean up tips... thats totally unacceptable for the price they go for here in NZ.

A 308 is good for 200 yards and under I have one

[@user-se8ds5ev5k]

2 inches high at 100 yards with 30/06, 308, 270, 243, is what it takes for a 200 yard zero. 3 inches hi at 100 does the trick at 300. Easier done at 30 yards sighting in dead on for 300 because it takes the wind out of the equation.

[@tracker208]

So...does altitude, barrel length and ambient temperature change your ballistics? 😊

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

Of course they will. But for hunting uses for the distances I usually hunt (under 300yds) they’re not going to be very significant. I pay a lot more attention to those variables when I’m Shooting competition PRS or target both rimfire & high power.

[@rashayes902]

What is the ballistic calculator you're using? Droid or iPhone?

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

I’m on iPhone it’s called SBC Light or SBC Pro for the paid version.

Would of liked to see the finish on paper But otherwise good video

[@Stargazer80able]

The Fusion will do the job really good, it will sadly bang up the meat and give bruising very badly to the animal. Too bad, because it shoots spot on to my training ammo.

[@jacobuszwanenburg1629]

Ya trajectory allows that 20/200 with my270 My dad trained in the army and taught me that too

[@travisfuller6590]

Man thats some high scope ring mounts why u not get some shorter ones

[@sbcbaits994]

A 50yd zero is close at 200, but it is not a 200yd zero. A small amount of error at 50 is huge at 200. It also depends on the independent ballistics of the cartridge. Always, always, always confirm your zero at 200 if you’re doing a 50yd zero. It’s also worth noting that if you’ve got a rifle shooting in that 2700-3000fps range (.308, 6.5cm, 7mm-08, etc.), it’s worth buying optics that have adjustable MRAD turrets and running a 100yd zero so you can use the minus 2 dial method. Basically you take two off of your distance. 300yds equals 1mrad. 400yds equals 2mrad, etc.

Good advice, but your windage was off to the left too......

[@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan]

I was finally right place right time bought a Savage Axis 6.5 Creedmore for $175. It shoots sweet but I’ve been thinking about upgrades for it like a new AR type stock collapsable, pistol grip and bipod. The longest shot I’d be taking in Northeast Mississippi would be no more than 300 yards. What type scope would you recommend. The scope I have on it now is a cheaper brand 3x9x40 Dead Ringer. I’m not looking for anything real elaborate trying to save $ for M-14 like I was given to carry in Iraq in 05.

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

I think at those ranges you’re shooting is similar to me, the one it comes with works fine but if you’re looking for a small upgrade and not break the bank something like the vortex crossfire would work decently. Or the Burris fire field

[@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan]

@@OutdoorsAnonymous Ah ok thanks I appreciate it.

[@OutdoorsAnonymous]

No problem, cheers!
