Axe Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Zero in on the Mag you will use most, some cheaper scopes can shift zero when you change the mag. Mount the scope on the rifle and make sure its squared up i.e. recticles are straight on the axis. turn each of the turrets all the way in. Then turning them all the way out, count the number of clicks. Half the nu,mber of clicks and turn them back in by that number. this should centralise the recticle. Using a suitable target and sheet of paper, take a shot at the target from 15 yards making sure you keep the rifle in the same postion. Then turn the turrets to get the recticle centred on the shot. When your happy its roughly on zero, move the target out to 30 yards and do the same again. Once you have the rifle roughly where you want it, just fine tune the turrets until your happy with the zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
