You just need to shoot your gun more. Go put a target at 100 and 200 yards and go thru a few boxes of ammo.

You SHOULD be 3-4" to the right at 100 yds and 6-8" to right at 200 yds.
Using the JBM Ballistics Calculator, at 1/2" low at 25 yds, you SHOULD be 4.9" hight at 100 yds, 6.1" high at 200 yds and 4.5" high at 250 yds. OTOH, a very small wiggle of the gun at 25 yds can make a BIG difference in point of impact at 100 yds and further
Do yourself a favor and shoot it some more.

Go 16 clicks left and don't think about it again. If your hunting tomorrow no matter what worrying about it won't do any good

I know you know your stuff, but this doesn't sound right at all...

.75" low at 25 yards is definitely fine and pretty close to a 100 yard zero. As others have said, the L-R needs fixing asap, that only gets worse with distance. Federal has an easy ballistics calculator, just pick a bullet with a similar BC and you can modify zero and yards.

Right, but shootjng a gun no farther than 25 yards and just assuming that translates into 100 yard zero is irresponsible.
Shoot the gun at paper as far as you plan to shoot at deer.

Obviously it's not perfect, just pointing out that .75" low translates to a zero right at 100 yards. I've never shot a target past 100 yards but have killed several deer at 200 or a little longer.

If that's where it's hitting at 25 yards and you don't have a chance to shoot again before hunting, adjust your scope 16 clicks left and you should be on at 100. Definitely minute of deer.

I'm no expert, but I had about the same pattern and it is still a killer at 100yds. Take some test shots to make sure though.

Ok guys, apparently, some of y'all were paying more attention than I was. 
I reran the #'s and I was wrong. The #'s I posted were w/ the gun hitting 1/2" HIGH at 25 yds. My mistake. Sighted 1/2" low at 25 yds as the OP stated, it should be 0.9" high at 100 yds, 1.7" LOW at 200 yds and 5.3" LOW at 250 yds. OTOH, my error does point out that when sighting in a gun at 25 yds, a small wobble can make a big difference at distant ranges. My bad.
