"you may have heard is that we are shooting suppressed out here" …. no actually, I didn't hear a thing
for a rzr zero stop scope, do you remove the top elevation turret when firing rounds for sighting in?, also if you remove the clicking screws on the base elevation turret to bore sight, are you able to fire rounds without the set screws on the inner elevation turret?

This is a great video. If you are having Heat issues, use a barrel cooler between firing each group
Very good presentation. It was clear and easy to follow. Thank you very much.
Is this rifle build listed anywhere?
Why the heck you title this video as a “rifle” scope and put a still picture with an AR rifle and show video with a lR
One of the more understandable explanations on how to execute sighting a riflescope. Thank you for not speaking Greek.
So u bring the hit marker to the point of aim..not the aim of point to the hit? I think thats where i get confused
Thank you for the simple and straight forward explanation! This is a confusing topic for me so I really appreciate the step-by-step instructions with explanation. Wishing you all the best!
easiest way to think of sighting a scope for me is the scope's cross hairs as "chasing" the impact point. Blue thread dressing on all mounting screws. Red is too permanent.
@vortex optics I am shooting a crossfire 2 what on the dial to move the scope does it have? Is it MOA? Can I reset zero on that scope? What is the math that I do do determine how many clicks to move the scope?
Great video
Once you’ve sighted your scope how do you stop it from getting bumped and the turrets from turning etc I’ve always used the older scopes with the old coin style to adjust etc and caps to protect them I’m looking at getting a scope like this once sighted how do I stop it from turning etc ?
Or if you dont want to waste an entire box of ammo. Fire the first shot.. Then put the rifle back in the rest and aim it at the bullseye. Now without moving the rifle adjust the scope reticals until the crossahairs are over the first shot. Your rifle is now sighted with one shot
Other than your using a pistol bulls eye target, this good information. 😁
Vortex Optics, using that rifle, scope & ammo = dead center @ 100 yards
Then how much bullet drop @ 1 mile (assuming a perfect day) & how click turns up based on 1/4 click?
great video guys,,,, i'm learning lots….thank u..
One of the BEST tutorials I have ever seen! Excellent! Thank you for a quality product and quality videos.
Wonder what the percentage is of people sighting in correctly versus the " over the hood of my truck" scenario? Or the best one- off hand at 30 yards! Love all my vortex scopes and binoculars. Just great equipment in all price ranges
Did you use a laser boresighter and, if so, which one?
The video link he mentioned about weighted vise use is not linked.
Another thing i like to do is firmly grip the scope and ensure that it is sturdy, i have a savage 6.5 Crd Mre. And when i zeroed it the first time a few months ago i was excited as it was my first time shooting it but to up the anti, i was loosing daylight fast so i rushed it i used a series of tools to ensure the rings were square on the picatinni rail base (provided by savage) with 20 MOA, I thread locked my ring screws but forgot the BASE ones and needless to say when i tried to confirm my zero yesterday the base was loose and it was pointless shooting so i will try again. Thanks for all your info !
Is there a link to the video about why not to sight in from a lead sled as referenced in the video?
That scope looks to be mounted pretty high.
Awesome video! Thank you.
That's damn fine shooting at a hundred yards what is that you're using
Bring the crosshairs to the shot not the shot to the crosshairs, it’s much faster.
Sigh. Why not LINK TO the bore sighting video in the description so I don't have to go looking for it?
Does it matter on what magnification the scope is when zeroing it in?
Is the a recommended bullet weight/type for zeroing? Is match ammo better so sight in with?
Have a Diamondback Tactical on my .300 mounted on Burris XTR Signature rings
very cool…thank you
Great Video.
What rifle are you using
awesome vid owwwwwww !!!!
Oh my god…. I never knew that’s what people meant by “resetting the turrets to zero.” I didn’t know you could take the knobs off and do that…..
