How to zero scope...I'm confused

D2ani

I see asimilar question earlier. I'm new to this so, If I want the bullet to impact to the right, do I move the reticle to the right and vice versa left. If I want the bullet to impact up, do I move the reticle up? I really do not have anyone to show me. Thanks for the help Danielle

I do not know about all scopes, but all of my scopes, the top dial has the word "up" written on it, with an arrow telling you which way to turn the dial to go up.The other dial says "left", and has an arrow pointing which way to turn the dial to go left. If I am shooting low, I go "up". If I am shooting right, I turn the dial in the direction that is "left". Hope this helps.

Here it is againThe arrows on the dial show which direction they will move the bullet. Turn the adjustingscrews according to the MOA scale on the dial. If they say 1/4 MOA, that's means one click will move the bullet 1/4" at 100 yards.Just follow the arrowsa that's were the bullet will go

They got it just right. Your first sight in shots should be at 25 yrd. When you are zero at 25 yrd. Move the target to 100 yard where you want the bullet to impact about 2.5 inches above your point of aim. Then you will be point blank at about 175 to 200 yards. That means you can hold the cross hairs dead on out to that range without calculating bullet drop. It varies with different calibers and loads, but that is a good ballpark figure. To be more pecise for a particular caliber/load, you have to consult ballistics tables. Have Fun!
