[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1363107, member: 229"] Ballistics programs can be quite a bit off depending on elevation, air pressure, and temp. Keep that in mind if you're zeroing in a temp-controlled indoor building. Scope height isn't a super-critical precision measurement - change it 1/4" and see what the ballistic programs say - not much difference (maybe 1/10th of a mill way down range). I don't know that I'd have the confidence to take a shot at a deer if I hadn't at least shot the rifle in real-world conditions at the range I was expecting to see one (even if in warmer temps and different air pressure).
