Thread: Different way to zero

Hi Guys ,

Just been to the range to zero a scope , and it has to be done a different way than the normal way of clicking the knobs to the required measurement , shooting & then slipping the knobs to read zero .

The scope is a USO MST-100 ( old USMC type ) , and the way you zero IT is shoot it with say Elevation on 100 & Windage on 0 , then you loosen the allen screws on both the knobs , then put the crosshair back on the aiming point , and hold/sandbag the rifle so it will not move , then put a allen key into the top center of the knobs , and with the rifle very still , turn the allen keys while looking thru the scope , and adjust the reticle to be on the aim point .

Due to the design of the scope , you have to use this exact procedure , nothing else will work with this scope .

SO thinking about it , you could use the same procedure on other scopes as well , with maybe only a few rounds used , BUT the tricky put is keeping the rifle absolutely still while looking thru the scope & turing the knobs etc , and be prepared to turn in the wrong direction to start with , before you pick up on it and go the right way .

Here's pics of the rifle and scope .
