I'd be more concerned about windage than elevation . If you're off 1/4 inch at 50 ft. , that turns into 18" at 300 Yds or there abouts . Probably a windage error at 50 ft. wouldn't even show up but will multiply rapidly as the range increases . IMHO I couldn't carry that rifle into the field without at least verifing a 100 Yd. zero .
