Tips on setting up a scope on your firearm.
Step 1
Ensuring
your scope is Mechanically Centred.
Count
the number of turns the turrets travel from one extreme to the other until you
run out of adjustment travel. If the
total turns counted were 12, wind in 6 turns and this should give you equal
adjustment for both directions. Your
scope is now mechanically centred.
Step 2
Ensuring
your scope is Optically Centred.
Place
your rifle in a bench rest or cradle.
Mount
the bottom halves of your mounts onto the rifle.
Seat
the scope onto the mounts.
Look
through the scope and rotate it 360° checking the reticle stays in the same
position. Should it rotate off centre,
adjust the turrets so the reticle remains in the centre as if a hub of a wheel.
The
scope is now optically centred and this ensures that your sight picture is
optimally viewed through the thickest point of each lens.
Step 3
Ensuring
your scope is Elevation Zeroed.
Set
your target at the desired range (50 metres – 100 metres).
Place
your rifle squarely in a bench rest or sandbag at the firing point.
Seat
the scope onto the bottom half of the mounts.
Check
your eye relief for optimum sight picture.
Check
the windage and elevation turrets are in the correct position and the reticule
is set square.
Lightly
clamp the scope into position with the top half of the mounts.
Bore
sight your rifle onto the centre of the target.
Check
the aiming point of the reticule is on the centre of the target.
If the
point of impact is only a couple of turns away from centre, use the turrets to
get on target.
You
may need to pack the back mount of the scope to get on target. Keep packing the mounts with the goal of
using the minimum turret turns to get the elevation zeroed.
Retighten
mounting screws after firing a few shots.
Step 4
Packing Correctly.
Use a
sheet of aluminium kitchen foil cut to 400mm x 100mm.
Fold
the 100mm edge over 5mm and then 7mm in a zig-zag increasing by 2 mm with each
fold.
Cut
the foil to fit the width of the mount.
Add
foil to the bottom of the mount to lift the scope.
An
excessive amount of packing may indicate a problem with the set up and may need
to be checked by a gunsmith.
Aluminium
foil is not affected by humidity.
