1022 Zeroing

I do not have a lot of experience with the 1022, or rimfire for that matter, always tended to stick with centerfire, but the price was right for this Ruger.

Ex-Gold,
Really depends on what your plans are for the Ruger 1022. They are by far the most used all round 22 in production, and IMHO the best choice for squirrel hunting. If you plan on just target shooting, pick a range you want to shoot at, IE 50 or 100, and zero the 1022 obviously to that range. If you plan on using it for squirrels, plan on shooting probably no more then 70 yards, I'd recommend zeroing at 50 yards, then check your marks at 25, 75 yards, and note round impact for hunting.

My .02
