I was at the range a couple of weeks ago with a new 22-250 Ruger American. I tried to do an old fashioned bore sight by removing the bolt and carefully focusing through the barrel on a dot at 25yds. While holding steady, I looked through the scope and began to adjust till the crosshairs were on the dot all the while carefully keeping the bore sight on the dot.
My question and confusion is that the adjustment was counterintuitive....to move the crosshairs down to the turret were rotated in the up direction (Redfield Revenge). Thoughts?
Second question...when aligning at 100yds after making a shot do you 1) hold the crosshairs on the bullet hole and then adjust to the bullseye or 2) hold on the bullseye and adjust to the bullet hole??
My warped mind is in need of professional help🤔

Question1 when you turn elevation up crosshairs go down which raises muzzle up to raise point of impact.
[br
Question 2
After you fire shot reset crosshairs on point of aim then adjust crosshairs to point of impact

bore sight by getting the center of bore on the center of the target while in bags/ vice/rest ect. move the crosshair to the center of target, fire while holding on center, hold steadily on center and without moving the gun move the crosshair to the bullet hole, forget about direction, just make it go to the hole, the next shot will be very close.
yes it seems weird but non the less it works very well, with most good scopes I can zero a gun in under 5 shots, not just close but spot on.
a friend watched while I zeroed a Sightron on his gun recently and his reply was simply, how did you do that so fast? 3 shots and it was done.

Thanks. I knew it to be that easy, but was just out thinking myself. I like the ole 2 shot zero after it's on paper.

my way after having done this at least a thousand time.
1st shot on a large cardboard box approx. 30-40yds> make scope adjustment in the rest to approx. 2" high of poa adjusted from from the 1st shot.
move to 100yds fire 2nd shot-its usually within 5-6 inches. take measurement height & left or right-input the correct moa into the scope to get to center or whatever height you want the bullet to strike@ 100yds//some like a 3" high@ 100yds.
if scope is tracking properly shot # 3 will be on./done!
don't forget if there is wind your impact should be adjusted accordingly/example-if I'm @ 200yds & a crosswind @ 10mph & ballistic program calculates 3" of drift then I want my impact there instead of dead center. lots of people make this mistake as its unusual to be no wind while on the range. |
