adymorris Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 If you have a .22 @ 12ftlbs the trajectory is approx the same at 10 & 30 yards (I think thats right but I could be talking tripe) so you could zero at 10 yards then adjust elevation if you are zeroing at 40 yards - I find it easier to see & it means you have less distance to walk plus it means you could zero it in your back garden what specific problems are you having Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 It might seem completely obvious, but make sure all the bolts are done up properly. You'd be surprised how many people have a loose scope. Don't over tighten the ones that go around the scope, or you can seriously damage the scope. As posted above, all guns have two points that they can be zeroed at, as the bullet travels in an arc. As I zero my .17HMR at 23 yards, which puts it bang on at 110 yards. Wait until you get a centrefire, where it'll cost you £1 a shot to zero it. Imagine how many shots you've taken to zero yours...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinois Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Mate brought his rifle to me to zero it. It would go perfect then throw off, kept doing it, we were tearing our hair out. I suggested taking the mod off and trying to scope it. It was perfect. We tried my mod on it, it threw them all over the place again. Took it to a gunsmith for chopping down and re crowning. Still perfect. Don't just assume it is the scope. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
