I have a Marlin 1894C in .357 magnum that is doing double duty as a hunting longarm for my father this season for whitetail deer; I will scope it with quick release rings in case the gun gets dropped and my dad can switch to open sights
my inquiry deals with the open sights; this rifle has an 18.5" barrel and most trajectory info I find deals with 4" vented test barrels; the ammo to be used is Federal American Eagle 158 gr jacketed softpoints; the local public ranges have 25 yard and 100 yard target stands; the regulations do not allow placement of any other target stands; I am not able to use the open sights at 100 yards on a sighting target (the front dot covers most of an average size sighting target); I will have to sight in at 25 yards
I want zero the open sights to 75 yards...how high over zero should I set the sights when zeroing at 25 yards for a 75 yard zero? thanks
