I thought about it some more after writing the post and I think you are dead on TD.

In essence, the bullet would start out lower then the scope, cross the line of sight at 25 yards (hence dead on at 25 yards) and the cross the line of sight again further down range at say approximately 75 yards since the gun was initially sighted in for 50 yards and I had to raise the scope to get on at 25 yards.

In essence, 25 yards was the intial zero with some other further yardage being the final zero.I just drew myself a diagram and it really makes sense now. I am just not used to shooting a rifle at 10 yards since most of my rifle work is done in the open field at 100+ yards.

Thanks TD
