I zeroed my Savage MKii at 100 yards. With a mil-dot 4-12x scope I hold under 3 mils for 25 yards, about 2 mils high for 150 yards and 5 mils high for 200 yards. The 40 grain subsonic ammo (I shoot it suppressed) in a 1-16 twist barrel is good for 1.5 inches at 100 yards but goes to a crappy 6-8 inches at 200 yards.

Can't go wrong with a scope that has multiple aiming points. This way I set the scope once and just hold under or over to hit the targets I want.
