[QUOTE="scottb42, post: 2636648, member: 27603"] Looking over the Leupold instructions I realize there are two important pieces of information not listed that will dramatically decrease your frustration level: 1) Don't adjust the your scope vertically to zero. Depending on the height of the scope above the bore, I'll usually adjust it so that it reads 1.5 to 2.0 above zero. Vertical adjustments work like they would when chasing a bullseye at the range, crosshair above the targeted point means adjust the elevation down, crosshair below the targeted point means adjust the elevation up. 2) Windage adjustments should be made to fall on the zero line. However, due to the way the boresighter works, you'll have to turn the adjusting screw the [B]opposite [/B]direction than you would if you were chasing a bullseye after shooting bullets into a target. For example, if the scope crosshair appears [B]left [/B]of the zero line in the boresighter, you have to adjust the windage screw further in the [B]left [/B]direction. Somebody smarter with optics than I am will have to explain that one, I've got nothing... Hopefully I haven't added to the confusion. I've used my boresighter on scopes, red dots, and iron sights, but it's important not to expect miracles. If used correctly it'll get you on paper at 50 yards, the rest is the traditional fire three shots then adjust, fire three shots and adjust, etc. Scott [/QUOTE]
