How do you line up a scope?

Answer 1

the easiest way to line up a scope is set a target 25 yards in front of you. get the gun stable and shoot. If you have it centered at 25 yards, do to 50 yards. Depending on the caliber, you will want to do this at 50 yard settings up to the distance you are comfortable shooting. Now, the only thing you want to change to line your scope is the horizontal, or windage. On most centerfire calibers, if you are dead-on at 25 yards, you will be very close to the same at 200 yards. The cartride will start rising after 25 and will fall backt to "about" the same at 200. The horizontal(windage) IS REALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT SETTING AFTER THE INITIAL 25 YARD SETTING.

Answer 2

There are a couple of methods. The easiest is to take it to a gunshot and have them bore sight it. This will at least get to print on a target right off. The next part or way is to have a good solid rest where the weapon will not move even when your not holding it. Do not pinch the stock to the barrel this will cause the weapon to be in accurate when released. at about 25 yards place the cross-hairs on the center of the target and fire. The with the turret covers remove and the weapon still aimed at the center of the target move the cross-hairs to the hove you just put in it. Or at the same range move the cross-hairs based on the number of clicks to move the point of impact. The standard is normally 1 click = 1/4 in at 100 yards it will be marked on the scope. once you have it shooting accurate at close range then you can move the distance out and be fairly sure you will close for range. continue to adjust until it is accurate at the range you desire
