My only decision now is since I have the carbine whether to zero the scope at 50 or 100 yds. Or longer?

with standard, full power 44 Mag level loads, we zero ours a couple of inches high at 50 yards .... that gives us a fairly flat trajectory out to something over 100 yards .... with 44 Special or other low power loads we have found the trajectory is too highly curved to fire much over 50 yards

That sounds like a good way to go. Most shots where I hunt will be 30 to 100. Maybe a longer shot if hunting a farm field but very rarely. Gonna try some coyote hunting so have no idea those distances. Mainly hunt Indiana whitetail. Thanks for your input.
