3" high at 100 yards is what Jack O'connor used to recommend for most open country rifles.
You will be 4" high at around 175 yards, and on at around 250 yards. A few inches (1-3") low at 300 yards, and about 12 inches low at 400 yards.
In other words, a center chest hold will work from the muzzle to 300 yards- not a bad way to zero for open country hunting.
