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.
