rjimmer Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 My new scope has multy zoom for 1.5-5x I was wondering at what mgnification i should zero it :( You should be able to zero at any magnification. The problem you have to avoid is called parallax. Put the scope completely out of focus so that all except the cross hairs is blurred. Adjust the eypiece to get the cross hairs as sharp as possible, then focus the scope on a distant object. Move your eye up and down. The cross hairs should stay on the same place on the object. The higher the magnification, the more pronounced any movement will be. Once you have achieved this, you should be able to zero the scope at any magnification.
