Zeroing - How to Zero in Two Shots

The method below should get you on target in 2 shots saving time, ammo and barrel life.

  1. Set your rifle up on something solid where it will stay on target without any support. A good set of bags is best.
  2. Remove the bolt and boresight the rifle. Sighting through the bore aim the barrel at the target (I've found a 2" black dot on a white background at 100yds  or  4" dot at 200yds is best). make sure the rifle maintains this position.
  3. Without moving the rifle, click the reticle onto the target.
  4. Fire a shot as you normally would either off your bipod, bags, freehand or whatever.
  5. Set the rifle up in a rest as you did for number 1.
  6. This time aim the scope at the target. Make sure the rifle maintains it's position.
  7. Without moving the rifle click the reticle onto the BULLET HOLE.
  8. Your rifle should now be zeroed.
  9. Fire a second shot or preferably a group to confirm your zero.
