How To Sight In Your Riflescope

thanks

Thanks for this vid my friend, maybe you are interested in a much easier way to sight in your scope. This works with my big bore air rifles, so it should work with powder burners. In theory you need only ONE bullet with this method. What you need is a rifle stand or a setup where the rifle stays on target when you turn the turrets. It goes as follows: Position your target at 100 yards or what ever distance you want to zero at. Then place your rifle in a stand or contraption and aim for the center of the target and shoot. The bullet will punch a hole somewhere. You can now use this new hole to zero in your scope. Keep your scope pointed at the center of the target and make sure the rifle doesn't move when you do this final step. While looking through the scope, turn the turrets until the reticle is exactly over the hole that the bullet made and you're done! Your scope is now spot on. Sometimes there is some fine tuning needed because of the recoil, but with a good quality scope, that's really all there is to it 😉

I'm just getting into hunting so this really helped me out

it appears you are bringing your impact to the scope crosshairs. other manufacturers talk about bringing the scope crosshairs TO the impact point. Is this correct?? This always confuses me. I generally move the crosshairs towards the impact.

What model scope is that? I need that one

You could always get yourself a zeroing kit and save yourself some rounds, money, especially if your shooting some flash in the pan round like the Creedmoor.

Very helpful thanks

Step one, don't buy a vortex

awesome vid owwwwww !!!!

What kind of rifle is that?

Did not know that lat trick…thanks.

Need a rifle? Damn I used my broom stick.

For the last feature, nikon has a better way to set it to zero after adjusting the the site

yeah have fun seeing your victim's face before you go to sleep every night. (you've probably never done dirt, and almost certainly never had to clean up.) so stop pretending to be a big boy. wanna-be tough guy yankee idiot.

You don't sight in your "SCOPE" ha,ha,ha.

Can you say properly an more

You’re not even getting one minute of angle with your groups draw circle around all your bullets that’s as big as a cantaloupe literally you would miss an apple if you were shooting

Your gun shoots terrible get some better ammo I can core pennies with my 30 /06 at 100 yards reload some hornet is it looks like you’re shooting shitty factory ammo My child shoots better than you

What mount/rings did you use to mount the scope?

General Tip: invest in a good scope! Rather have a decent rifle and a great scope than the other way round.
A scope that doesn't do it's job reliably is useless and you will spend time and money and leave the field in frustration chasing poi all over the place.
Make sure it tracks well.
Sighting in begins with mounting of the scope and benching its performance.
Make sure it's mounted level to a level rifle.
Make sure your target is level too and mark a plumb line on it with increments you know the distance of.
Now you can see if the scope tracks correctly and the adjustments are indeed correct.
Run a box test as well.

wouldn't it be better if after you shoot a tight group.. jus look through the scope and aim at the bullseye and then adjust the elevation and windage turrets until your crosshairs are in the centre of the group you just shot?

Telegram is turning to a dark web I just got my self a Glock 18c from sellsglocks on telegram

Thank you, this is very helpful instruction.

Call that rifle a “gun” one more time and you’re pulling fire watch.

Whenever I change the magnification on my optic it immediately falls out of focus, and when I attempt to focus it the magnification changes, am I just too close to the target to bring it into focus or am I doing something wrong?

Very helpful! cant wait to get mine zeroed out

Dumb question, would appreciate if any one can explain this. Why do you consider this process correct when there is wind down range? wouldn't you be zeroing the rifle for that particular days' wind? I get that you'd ideally want to do this in a non windy day, but say you are zeroing at 500 yards, on a precision rifle, wind will make a huge difference for zeroing.

BIG THANKS for this tutorial! Very familiar with the AR-15/ME platform but only with an ACOG and Iron Sights. 😏

FINALLY have My Own AR-15 (full Custom-built) and I'm running the Strike Eagle!

Love your products & How To's!👍🏼

I have a Leupold optic but I think your videos are great and informative so I love watching them. Thanks Vortex!

You can zero in with one shot. First, fire at center of target. Second, with gun fixed, aim at the center, them move scope settings to where the bullet actually hit.

how do you know what magnification you need to set it as i shoot a 30-30 malin lever action

If you have a ffp scope with bdc do you need to sight it in say the first reticle is 100yards do you need to do your zeroing at that 100 yards An then the rest will be accurate or if I don’t currently have access to 100 yards can I zero at 50

Great Video!

Great video. I need to set mines up correctly. It blurs at 25 yards. And I still can't hit bulls eye. Think it's the shooter 😁

THANKS very good vid…so many vids have too much BS. It was straight to the points and helped alot

"Part of your pattern " smh, what an idiot

Shooting 100 yards I'm assuming?

Very useful, thanks.

Your method works but just zero your scope to your first shot.

If I bought a new rifle and it shot like that I would return it.

That was clear and concise.

I would not be happy with the final group!
