To sight in your rifle, a common distance is 25 to 100 yards, depending on the type of rifle and the intended use. For most centerfire rifles, 100 yards is standard, while .22 caliber rifles are often sighted in at 25 yards. This distance allows for a clear shot grouping and makes adjustments easier. Always ensure you follow safety protocols and local regulations while sighting in.

How do you sight in a 17 HMR?
The .17 HMR is a very flat shooting cartridge. To sight your rifle in place a target (paper plate will work) up at 25 yards. Start with a steady rest on a solid table or bench and shoot at the paper plate to see where the bullet is impacting on the target. Move your sights until the bullets hit in the middle of the paper plate. Once this is done your rifle will be sighted in at 25 yards. Next, move your target to the distance where you feel you will be shooting most often and see where the bullets impact at that distance. Move the sights, if you need to, until they impact in the middle of the paper plate.
