[QUOTE="vonb, post: 4975718, member: 2877"] You can do this with no tools needed if a bolt-action. Make sure it's unloaded before proceeding. 1) Pull your bolt out of your gun 2) Put the rifle in a rest where it won't move 3) Look through the bore of your barrel and focus on something 50+ yards away. The item your looking at should be a contrasting color so you can see it. Make sure that object is centered in the bore while looking through it. 4) Now look through your scope. Adjust your crosshairs so that they focus on the object being seen in the center of your bore. Remember that your bore equates to bullet impact. Therefore, adjust your turrets so that it moves your reticle to where the bore is aiming. Therefore, if bore is focused on something to right where scope is aiming, you'll move turrets to the LEFT (remember your moving bullet impact). 5) Once adjusted, your scope should be aiming in the same place as what you see through the bore. This will get you on paper. 6) Go to the range and verify/adjust final adjustments. [/QUOTE]
