How to Zero a Rifle Scope: Beginners Guide Part One-Classroom Phase

I never did understand why up is up and down is down yet left is right and right is left

I did all that yet still missed my mother in law… thanks for nothing.

here's an even easier way…
put the gun in a clamp, shoot at the bullseye, and wherever the round lands, adjust the sight to right there
2 steps, 1 shot
done.
EDIT: Yes, you can actually look through the scope while you turn the knob.

i got only one thing to add to this awesome video for beginners ! if you perfectfully weigh all projectiles ,powder and have perfect cartridges the moa will be more accurate ,the store bought ammo is massed produced so its always different shot to shot !!!

Opposites attract! R=L, D=U and VV.;*

Ye but what happens?? How the bullet goes up, the barrel goes up???

This is the most simplest explanation about zero in the scope. Thanks.

Stupid question, but why multiply by 4?

4.25*4=18??

Hey for the Beginners…. When they get a new scope and you are getting ready to Zero it out. How do you know where to start. OK this is what I mean… I had a guy ask this – your getting a scope and you want to longest range out of it. Do you back your turrets all way down until they stop for the up and down then Zero them. He said i know the wind-age will be centered as much as they can from the factory. What is the bottom of the scope so you can shoot as far as the scope will allow… Hummm… I have never been asked that before.. I have always just zeroed mine strait from the box. But a nice question to be answered… I just told him what I did… Maybe i have been wrong for the past 50 years.. LOL maybe I can get a bit more out of my scopes… What you think and what is right….

I've been told that you have to go the other way around,Move the crosshairs in the opposite direccion because you're not trying to bring your point of impact to your cross hairs,you're trying to bring your cross hairs to your point of impact.
The point of impact is not movile,your crosshairs are mobile.

Can someone help me in my case
Bullet hit under cross and when i want to turn the turret for zeroing
Just little more turn before it zero but my turret look like already get max turn.its dont want to turn anymore what must i do ?

Good video, but reiterating that the directions (up, down, left, right) on the knobs translate to the direction you want the point of impact to change is important/helpful, since it can be counter-intuitive for beginners… I used to think those directions were where I wanted to reticle to shift. Maybe I am the only one, but it took me a while to permanently remember that principle.

Firstly. Do not mix MOA and inches, because MOA is not a measurement for inches, or the other way around.
Second. Your scope doesn't have have a 1/4 inch click at 100 yards. It has 1/4 MOA clicks.
Third. 1 MOA doesn't equal 1 inch at 100 yards. If using 1 inch as 1 MOA to explain this your distance should be approximately 87,36 yards.
Fourth. If you feel the need to educate you should at least do this right so you don't give anyone wrong ideas about the measurement of MOA (Minute Of Angle).

Great video…Airborne !!!

Thank you so much. I'm a beginner and that was fairly simple to understand. The video was short and gave a good explanation.

The biggest problem and it's a problem that becomes a bullet waster a is even worse with these Chinese made scopes is knowing what nob is what and witch way to turn.

I have one from Amazon you can't feel or hear any clicking.

thank u for taking the time to explain. really needed it

..but how do you get the test shot in the right position without problems from your own lack of aiming

Shouldn't you send a group of 3 to 5 rounds first in the event that that single shot was a "flyer"

Dead on brother. Simple and direct explanation!

Brilliant way to give a point .

In all of the scopes you have this formula of quarter inch .

wahooooo excellent,

How do you now how many clicks on the knobs equals an inch?

Do you ever feel stupid when someone explains something to you that's so simple? I do 🙁

This guy looks like Michael Bisping

I dream of being a sniper. I just haven't found any game I would like to Get money and fuck bitches

Thanks for the information. What if we ran out of clicks, the impact point still below the target seen on the scope even after turning up the scope vertical adjustment to the maximum.

Absolutely Amazing…. Subbed you bro

Realy thanks a lot uncle realy thanks

Thank you! 🍻
