All our guns have elevated optics, its not a problem.

Yea I realise that, I was in the Army so zeroing by judgement rather than by sights is quite second nature (as is my urge to aim for the torso and not the head). like I said in my previous post i agree that its hard to get even 6 out of 10 shots in a grouping with a BB gun due to the descrepant nature of their fire.
I guess a trully effective BB scope would need a way of rapidly adjusting 'the perfect zeroing point' for distance. When I was in the Army the L85 A1 SUSAT sight adapted by having two adjustable points at the front and back of the sight, so at say long range the front would be only slightly lower than the back, at close ranges the back would be elevated and the front depressed considerably more. Although When i say close ranges i mean 100meters, so i get what you mean by it being pointless to have it excessivley zeroed.
In the army we were taught to judge distances in terms of football fields, its quite an aquired art to be able to accurateley look at a field and judge how wide it is to set your sights. We had none of that US army "ill just get my rangefinder" nonesense lol.
