So, Took her out to get zero'd today. I don't know if it's just the scope, but when I say it was shooting high, it was shooting friggin high. I had to crank the elevation as far down as i possibly could. I mean like it couldn't go any further. And this was at 50 yards.
Anyone else ever experience this? Scope adjusts in 1/4 MOA increments. I've never had this much trouble zero'ing a rifle before. Granted i've only zero'd a few rifles a handful of times each. Even the RSO was like... Wow.. Just crank sum'bitch all the way down and we can work from there. In the end it's pretty on the money at 50 yards but where do I go from there? lol.
ddeuce22, if I'm understanding you, you've zero'd in at 50 yds with the .308? If that's true then here's the explanation. Now, I've made a couple assumptions here, but only where required.
First off, if you've truly zero'd your rifle at 50 yds, and assuming you eventually want it zero'd at 200 yds, then as it stands right now you'll have to crank the scope back up considerably. The 'mid range' of a .308 168 gr (2 more assumptions) projectile is right about 2.06" at right around 110+- yds assuming your intended zero is 200 yds, another assumption and pretty average setting.
So, when you cranked it down low enough to be zero'd at 50 yds, you have just about cranked all the adjustment out of your scope. With the 50 yd zero you've indicated, you will be shooting about 4.75" low at 200 yds. In actuallity, you'd need to be hitting about 1.25" high at the 50 yd target in order to be 'dead on' at 200 yds.
When your scope is adjustable by 1/4 moa, that usually is measured at 100 yds but that's another assumption by me of your scope. So to move the POI at 50 yds, requires 2 times the number of clicks required at 100 yds, and 4 times the number of clicks at 200 yds.
I hope I've understood your issue correctly and that my offering is also understandable. If all is as it appears, I'd suggest bringing your POI at 50 yds up about 1.2" (about 12 clicks) since an MOA is equal to just a tad over 1" (actually 1.047" @ 100 yds). That should put you just about on at 200 yds, again assuming that's your preference. If 200 yd is not your desired zero range, then compensate from there.
Hope I've led you straight on the numbers/clicks etc. I'm a little under the weather tonight and not thinking quite as straight as usual. Verify all I've said here before counting on it.
package was stolen, I have filed a police report not based on the value of the sling but instead if the thief knows what it is then they now know there are firearms in the apartment
