Of all the "how to zero in your sights", this is the best and easiest to understand and follow for us dummies. Thank you very much.

I absolutely with the comments, straight forward and easy to understand.

Thank you fine sir for yet another great video, well done yeeh ☘👑🖒

That's when you tell them to go to KZbin..no one knows it all..but KZbin is my Best Teacher. Thanks for YT.

[@lindarogers8994]

That was an uncomplicated straight forward lesson in how to zero a rifle. Brilliant!

[@LandonN9]

Great video for beginners and people looking for guidance on how to properly zero their scope. Straight forward, easy to understand, and no "fluff". Great video! Keep up the great content.

[@17Bruinfan]

Thanks a bunch!!! great information for the "beginner" with a scope. I've personally always used iron sights on my 308 rifle. Now that I'm at an age where I need a scope I'll be taking this information with me to the range to dial in my new scope. Thanks again for helping me to understand better as a beginner scope user.

[@chaoticgood3935]

Probably the most straightforward and simplistic tutorial for someone with no experience. Excellent!

[@gergemall]

I’ve been shooting for over 55 years and have bounced from long guns to pistols , but I’ve NEVER USED A SCOPE . Short distance shooting is still working. Lol . Longer range a high in a fence post looks like a squirrel. Ha ha . Great instructions. Thank you. Thank you for your service. If I’m wrong, I apologize. A superior instructor has the ability to covey comprehensive and complex information to others in a way that is simple to understand for the brightest students and the not so bright students. You sir have that gift .

[@MKahn84]

Thank you! I've been shooting over iron sights my whole life, only my eyes just aren't what they used to be, so it's time to start using some optics. The only optics I've used before were in tanks when I was in the Army. This video, along with part 2, really explained the basics of the scope very well.

[@TR5T]

Very helpful, I zeroed my Model 60 at 50 yards and it is spot on. My only experience prior was iron sights with my issued M14. 440 yrds at the qualifying range was our test which went very well. Scopes are new to me and this was brilliant, thanks.

[@rosie4068]

This is my first time zeroing in a scope, info was clear and to the point. Thank you

[@hlalnunzira1753]

This is my first time zeroing my scope, i don't have any idea about zeroing. It was very helpful and thanks for uploading the videos.

[@diycampers7878]

Thanks for that simple explanation. I'm buying my first optic scope soon and wanted to know some basics. So thank you for taking the time to explain this. Cheers

[@daxpresuto3077]

Good video, but reiterating that the directions (up, down, left, right) on the knobs translate to the direction you want the point of impact to change is important/helpful, since it can be counter-intuitive for beginners... I used to think those directions were where I wanted to reticle to shift. Maybe I am the only one, but it took me a while to permanently remember that principle.

[@BRUNOCMUSIC]

same for me here man

[@scott1lori282]

On less advanced scopes without labeling you click toward point of the hit which means next time the cross hairs should be closer to bullseye. These modern fancy scopes are doing same thing with labels "UP & DOWN". Make you think you are going up while going down or left when adjusting right.

[@MoejiiOsmanTV]

Same for me took me a fukkkin month before i figured out thats not what it ment and finally zerod my scope

[@cnmsales]

Thank you so much!!! Anything you look up always shows the filed guide of this process. As someone who grew up with handgun and shotguns this isnt something I have experience with. Your video made it dead simple!!!

[@philochristos]

You are the man. I had to watch four videos of people trying to explain it until you actually DID explain it. I'm sure I could've figured it out after wasting a bunch of bullets experimenting, but this is much more helpful.

Great Video! Simplified really well and made it easy for me to follow along. I'm just getting in to the precision shooting and this Video was helpful.

[@mrgreyman3358]

Thanks for that. I have always used rear leaf sights or open sights all my life. Now that they mark 1 eyeballs are wearing out, I am attempting to learn to use scopes, so yes, this is very beneficial for people new to using scopes. Thank you.

Adjustments are to move the point of impact to the target aimed. Makes a difference for up and down for the beginner.

That was a good explanation, for beginners. The only thing I would add is to fire a three round group before adjusting and then adjust from the center of that group.

Plz note in advance the HEAVY sarcasm: one sights a scope by looking through it at the store, buys it, mounts it, then begins to burn 10 s of rounds of ammo at 100yd without ever cutting paper. Brilliant!! This video is a clear guide to avoid that waste n frustration.

[@davidheafey3018]

Thanks very much for a simple, straightforward explanation of how to zero a scope. As silly as this may sound, I had a heck of a time understanding how to zero. My brain told me to move the crosshairs to the point of impact. It's the exact opposite. The point of impact needs to be moved to the crosshairs, so that's the direction you dial the turrets.

thanks it was very helpful, gotta go try it on my air rifle scope that was getting me crazy last weekend

[@ChromeXk]

Love this, went shooting today for the first time using one of the clubs air rifles which was wildly inaccurate due to the optics not being zeroed, no big deal, but when I go next time i'll know how to adjust the scope properly, big thanks!

Air rifles are hard on scopes

I have never had an optical sight, I recently purchased a rifle designed to be used with a scope. It has no iron sight. Your video has been a huge help in understanding how to sight and use my new scope. This is going to be fun!

[@petera5560]

if your young and or have good eyes, you can hit a squirrel from afar even with an iron site, but gets harder as your eyes fade and things start to look a little fuzzy.

[@theautodidacticman_]

Chasing the bullet hole with the center crosshairs is the most common way to sight in a scope, but there’s a better way and a whole lot more accurate way of dialing your scope in. Trying to adjust the point of impact to the center of the crosshairs can be a pain in the butt sometimes and they never come out perfectly accurate in my opinion. There’s a better way of sighting in your rifle scope and its simply just changing around your process. The gun is pointing at the point of impact and the scope is at the point of aim, so instead of bringing or “adjusting” the bullet hole up to the center crosshairs what you want to do and should do is bring your center crosshairs towards the bullet hole made for the most accuracy. For years I’ve been doing it wrong and basically lucking out, but not anymore. My scopes are accurate and precise now and it’s a simple process how to do it. Here’s a short video that explains it better than I ever could. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e57bk3h5nJetpLM
