Hi Karan,
> Congrats on acquiring the Orion 22cal + scope.
> Let us know your experience in mounting the scope & zeroing it.
> Would suggest you zero it at 15mtrs (approx 50ft) using 14gr pellets & a bench rest.
> Later shoot at 10mtrs / 20mtrs / 30mtrs - this will give you an idea as to how much to hold under & over to hit bulls eye.
Good Luck.

Thanks brihacharan - overall experience was positive with mounting and zeroing the scope, minor hiccup with zeroing at 10 yards which was resolved by shimming.

Yes, I will try and zero at 20 yards since that's the optimal distance to zero and gives the better accuracy at longer distance based on the trajectory of the pellet.
