zeroing

[airarms]

hi all , i have a 3-9x40 mil-dot scope @35 yards .... do i zero the scope at 35 yards for the mil dots to be on target for hold over/under ? thanks

zero at your required distance to suit your calibre best. then use the dots under the crosshair for shots further than your zero point. what calibre is it. i think the 35 is the parallax setting. is it an airgun scope.if so it may seem out of focus when looking at something further away?

if you put your eye in the same place in relation to the scope you dont need to worry about parallax and if you need tips on zeroing go to www.chairgun.com its free and it helps you set your set up to the right range

Your mildot settings will have to be calculated by you, as each gun will give different results.

 

Zero your rifle to whatever you like and then move your target 10 yards further back and shoot the bull with the cross, not the other mildots and then alter until you know what the next distance is that the mildots correspond to.

 

It'll look something like this when you've calculated it.

 

35 - bull

37 - 1st dot

45 - 2nd dot

 

Etc.

 

It's all trial and error.

This is pretty handy for getting you started, it will tell you where your mil-dots should correspond at a given mag/pellet weight/velocity etc

 

Bear in mind it's just a guide and you'd need to check it on paper before putting pellet to bunny.
