  1. was trying to Zero my rifle today, then i noticed ny base mount was loose, fml, Note to self before trying zero your rifle scope make sure the mounts and everything else is tight and locked on.🤦🏻‍♂️😂 my deam POI kept slighty changing and i nocticed after a few rounds

  2. The adjustments should be made one at a time either elevation or windage and never over correct there can be backlash in the mechanics of the scope the best is just to use a laser at home for bore sighting

  3. Vortex is bad ass I love there scopes and there company there warranty is probably the best in the industry just one thing I like to see more of is made in America fuck China communist bastards change your ways vortex or maybe you will go out of business next

  4. Question, why didn't it work the first time? If it was 4.5 moa high snd one moa left and those are the adjustments you made on the scope. Why didn't it work the first time? I'm a little confused by that.

  5. Don't do it this way in the video unless your rifle is a proven 1/4 moa gun. Otherwise, you will be chasing the groups all over the paper. Shoot once, move your reticle to the bullet hole then shoot at least 3 rounds. Adjust for the final time after that. One more round shot but better results for the common shooter.

  6. great standard method with no real tricks needed! A novice shooter might want to get a 1" grid target to easily count moA without having to understand their actual MOA sustentions on their reticle or if they don't have a moa or BDC reticle
