I have ~13 yds indoors so I bore sight for ~1.5" low, then I know I am on paper. Then work out from 25 to the 100 for final zero.Thanks
Footnote, the recoil kick is not real hard on the 6Arc (very minimal), instead of a lead sled I'd recommend a nice muzzle brake. Takes all the muzzle flip out of the equation. On a 24" the noise back to you will not be too bad (use hearing pro anyway!).
Get the VG 65 gamma, 6.5mm if you can find them - they are tops. And a knurled jam nut, or the accuwasher set. Not crush washers they will screw up your bore performance.
Actually with a 24" you could probably skip the brake also, just have a front rest like the caldwell mini rock and a good sand bag/ rear sand rest for the butt stock.
Not much $$, but lots of value. You can tell what kind of shooter I am, economics/value oriented.
But as to the question about 50 yds, ok for starters but you really want to take it to 100.
I have an indoor range couple miles away that goes to 100yds. I'll do my basic work up there, No wind and a machine to return target after every shot if I want to . But it charges by the hr. and you can only do 1hr at a time depending on waiting line. Then move to an outdoor range 38 miles away that has 100yd and a 200yd along with a great snack bar I took my Grandson there recently , Run by some really nice and safe people.
Not sure if they work but may try one of these , read about them but haven't worked up to one yet
