The bullet continues to rise until top of arc, thus being 2" high at 100. To do as you suggest would be the correct step to have the bullet only rise 1", and appear 1" low, at 50, and cross the line of sight at 100.

I never asked a question Sir!
A bullet on leaving a barrel does not rise! It drops!
All sighting systems are angled at the front down some in relation to the line of bore thus inducing some elevation to the falling bullet.
Incline the sighting system to much but only wish to use a rifle for short distance and you get the above situation.
It matters not now as the OP has changed the criteria of this rifle from the earlier criteria. Had the criteria not changed rising the forward end of the scope would of flatted the two impact points out over 100yds.
I don't need it explaining to me, I was questioning why suffer that 2" when the user originally said 100yds will be a long shot where he intended to use the rifle
I give up....put the scope on upside down , back to front and sight it in just how you want.....
