When I am practicing with a hunting rifle, it is already zeroed and ready to go.
Before I shoot my other rifles, I take out my hunting rifle , walk up to the line and shoot the 200 meter silhouette , or steel at 100, or the pig at 300, never in the same order.
Sometimes off one knee, sometimes standing, sometimes off both knees.
Cold barrel to start, no thought , just take it out of the case, sling the gun on my shoulder then take it off and shoot. I fire once with the irons and once with the scope at each distance

Then I get my target rifles ready to shoot.

At the end of the session , I take out the hunting rifle and do the same thing.
At times I shoot the irons first , sometimes the scope first, all depends if the scope is on thee rifle already, but each gets shot once at each distance.

I generally hunt with the irons, with the scope inn my pack in case I get a long shot with time too install it.
