How to Zero Your Rifle Scope (Easy way even if your math skills suck...)

How to Zero Your Rifle Scope (Easy way even if your math skills suck...)
Welcome to Firearms of America! Today, I wanted to zero an optic on my Rossi RS22 rifle, so I decided to make a how to video as well.
Here are a few things to keep in mind if you are zeroing your rifle scope or red dot optic:
1. Make sure that your optic is properly mounted (leveled and with desired eye relief).
2. I set my target at 50 meters to zero my optic. It gives you a close group for a variety of distances, and it is not too hard to work with, especially with a rifle scope that has at least x6 power. (The one I am using is x12).
3. Draw 1 inch squares on your target, approx. 1 inch is fine.
4. Do your best to hit one of the squares placing at least 5-6 shots.
5. Check the grouping. Make necessary adjustments, repeat on the next square until your group is where you want it to be.
1 MOA is 1 inch at 100 yards.
1 MRAD is 3.6 inches at 100 yards.
The rifle that I am shooting is Rossi RS22 chambered in 22LR. Here is the review:

I think you should do a video on mounting the optic as well. Knowing how to mount the optic level and proper torque settings is good info relate to the novices.

There's another way. Use a rifle rest to prevent movement. Aim at your target center. Fire the weapon for your group. Note the location of the group. Then, using the same rest, aim again through your scope at the center of your target. Without moving the firearm, adjust your riflescope so the reticle is aimed at the center of your fired group. Your rifle will now be zeroed at your chosen range.

Definitely a much better way, especially for anything with more recoil than 22LR.
