James - Sighting in for dead on at 100 yards will be just fine. I shot plains game in the Save last year - an eland, 2 kudu, 2 warthogs, a zebra, a wildebeest, and an impala. All of my shots were inside 100 yards - all shot with a 9.3x74R single shot stalking rifle. There were a few open places where a 200 yard shot was possible, but not that many......and face it, you have time to think about the shot and determine hold over (if any) when the game is that far away. A lot of folks sight in for 2" or more high at 100 yards, and those same folks will miss their shot at a civet or a honey badger when encountered at 50 yards - they shoot right over their backs. Sight in at 100 yards, and you will not regret it.
I leave for the Save on 30 July, and I am counting the days till I leave!
