| i went to the range the other day with my 22lr rifle with a nikon prostaff on it which is 1/4 inch moa at 100y.so i was shooting at 50y and i was shooting 4 inches high so if 1 click is 1/4 inch at 100 then one click at 50 should be 1/8 of an inch so to move 4 inches it should be 32 clicks,i would thinkt?but when i did that it was off target,so if i did the math wrong please help.thanks |
| 1 click at 50 yards=1/8". Turn the turret in the direction you want the bullet to go. I would not turn a turret 32 clicks all at once. Even though theory says that is right. Move it 6-8 clicks at a time and shoot to verify. Then sight in either windage or elevation before moving on to the other. |

Quoted:
Shoot your initial group. Don't move the rifle. Move your crosshairs until they are centered in the group. Exactly. To take all of the guess work out of zeroing a new scope: 1. Get the rifle mounted on a stable platform. Shooting bench, bipod, sandbags, etc. to take the guess work and "I think that one was my bad" out of it. 2. Shoot a group.. like previously mentioned. Don't make adjustments based on one shot. 3. Once you have shot your group keep your rifle in the same, stable position. Align your crosshairs to the same spot you aimed for with your group. 4. With the rifle in that stable platform adjust your reticle to the group you just shot. You will be much closer to getting a good zero on your scope. 5. Repeat until you are happy with the groups you are shooting. |

1.Bore sight your rifle to get on the paper.
2.Using whatever means available (sand bags, for example), steady the rifle so that it is rock solid with the scope aimed dead center on the target. You should be able to get in position and not have to worry about your breathing or making any adjustments. Just put your shoulder to the butt of your rifle, look through your scope to ensure it is aiming where it should be, and… 3.Fire one shot at the target. 4.If the rifle moved with recoil, reposition the rifle so that the scope is once again aiming dead center on the target. 5.Without moving the rifle, adjust your scope’s windage and elevation (walk the sight) until it is aiming dead center in the hole the shot made in the target. Your scope is now pointing exactly where it should be: the point of impact. Your next shot, if you want to make sure, will hit where you aim. |

Some people over think this 'one shot zero.' |
