Sight in Your Rifle Scope Like a Pro

Sight in your rifle scope every time there has been a long period in between uses, this will ensure you get the most accuracy out of your rifle scope.

Materials

• The ammunition you will be using on the hunt
• A Bore Sight
• Spotting Scope
• Paper targets (preferable with a bullseye)
• Gun Rest
• Gun Vise

Setting Up

1. Set up 2 paper sheet targets; one at 25 yards and one at 100 yards.
2. Prepare a comfortable gun rest that will stabilize your gun. This is to reduce human error.

Bore Sight

We have many tools for sale to help a shooter bore sight his/her rifle. These are instructions to
bore sight a bolt action rifle by removing the bolt, AKA “The Old Fashioned Way.”

1. Place a target about 50 feet away
2. Take the bolt out of the chamber
3. Look through the bore and find the target on the wall
4. Preferably on a gun vise, move the gun up and down to center the target
5. Look through the rifle scope, the scope needs to center on the target as well
6. Adjust the windage with the windage screws
7. Adjust the elevation with the turret knobs
8. Make the proper adjustments until the target is centered in the rifle scope
9. Double check your bore to make sure the target is still center
10. Reinsert the bolt and head out to the field

25 Yards

1. Aim at the bullseye and shoot your first shot
2. If it lands on the bullseye, grab your hunting gear and go get’em. If not, read further.
   You will need to adjust the windage and elevation so that your cross hairs will center at the point of impact.
3. Remember, you are at 25 yards out so one click will move the crosshair 1/16 of an inch. If you are shooting low, adjust up; if you are shooting left adjust right, and vice versa.
4. If the point of impact is 3 inches high and 2 inches to the left of the bullseye, you would make the following adjustments: 48 clicks in the down position and 32 clicks in the right position. Your crosshairs should now be centered at the original point of impact.
5. Squeeze off one more shot at the bullseye, the point of impact should be within an inch of the bullseye. Repeat this step if needed, however if by the 4 shot you don’t see improvement, you may have to remount your scope.

100 Yards

1. Fire three rounds at the 100 yard target, waiting for the chamber to cool within shots.
2. Using a spotting scope, look at the 3 points of impact. The three bullet holes should be within a 3 inch or smaller circle. If this is the case, you are ready for the hunt!
