I’m and ex British army armourer. Skill at arms instructor and weapons geek 👌. As Mr AAR states at the start we can all learn. I watched this knowing how to zero a myriad of sighting equipment and weapon systems. I am stuck in my ways and prefer to fire a 5 round group and use the mean point of impact. However let it be know this is a very good and informative video. Worth the watch and full of valid and useful information. thankyou.
Got to get your MPI on to your CZP mate.
No one cares... if u was in the army.. just comment and stcu
@@Brock-Lesnar-WWE we appear to have a lesser spotted cockwomble. These creatures are famous for there lack of intelligent input and there tendencies to be aggressive no reason. Unfortunately these vermin arnt allowed to be culled with an air rifle.
@@Brock-Lesnar-WWE "Were"...and st'F'u..... 🥴🤤
Maybe 5 round group and MPI works on hitting a figure 11 at 100 metres but for precision shooting these are the best methods for proper sight alignment
This is the clearest tutorial on this subject I've seen. Thanks for the video.
I think is the best on TH-cam
Perfect explanation. I’m a complete noob so followed all the details for method one and now my BSA R10TH with Hawke 8-32 x56 is spot on. Thanks Andy, your videos are by far and away the best.
I learned something new, and I have been using a scope since 1964.
@@back2backjack1 hi Robert.can I put the scope on the mounts first then put the whole thing on my hw100kt or do I have to put the mounts on the rifle first then add the scope on top last ?atb David
never too old to learn Andy. been using method one for years and years. I am 83 and I am now checking the mounts for alignment so many thanks for that. now I have to read up on shooting pellets Backwards.
Out of the few videos I've watched to perform this, yours by far is the simplest to understand and apply. Cheers!
So simple, so accurate and no waste of time. Thanks for a great video
I’ve got back into air rifle shooting. I’m 52 and remember shooting an Airsporter and Benjamin Franklin as a lad. I found this video tutorial very helpful and I will certainly use one of these methods. Thank you good sir 👍🏻
Best explanation I have seen so far for anybody doing it for the very first time. Although most of us kinda know in theory how this goes, unless you have done it before, (I have not) it is good to see a straightforward, clear and concise explanation. I just got a HW100/hawk scope, so I will be getting onto this next week, this video helps a lot in advance. Thanks for making it.
At what distance should this be done?
I've been looking for a simple and clear explanation and this is it. I've been going round the twist trying to zero my rifles up to now.
Just getting back into the sport after 30 years.......thanks for all the information and reviews....probably the best and most honest Ive found....
4 years on and still helping people what a great video ive just bought HW 110 as a noob thanks for the video earned a sub
Never thought about the mounts lining up. I've been shooting for years and consider myself quite knowledgeable. Just goes to show that we should never stop learning. I use sportsmatch mounts currently on my ultimate sporter with a hawke vantage sf scope and find it laser beam accurate. But I have used budget scopes and mounts on previous rifles and never thought about the alignment of the mounts. I tend to fire one shot and then adjust the crosshairs to meet the first shot.
To avoid future disagreement I suggest we rename the muzzle sound-reduction-device the ‘attenuator’. This follows the English protocol of using an additional and unnecessary new word which is slightly less helpful than the pre-existing term. This will also serve to attenuate future argument and confuse newcomers and old hands alike!
Im 67 and been shooting springers since I was 5. Never known how to zero scopes as always used open sights.
Thank You.
Hey Andy makes sense,,,,,, my missus never let me play so getting back after 30 years it makes sense man,,, thank you...
I'm newly returned to Air Rifles after around 30 years and found this a great help. Thanks.
Good demonstration. On my range, I use a fence post as a plumb line. I start at 20 yards, and zero 1 inch high @12:00 oclock. Then move to 40 yards, and adjust to pinpoint zero. This make for predictable holdover/holdunder on the 50, 60, 70, and 80 yard gongs. You will have much more confidence on the longer shots by being able to see/measure your drop.
Simply... The Best. You can rely on anything Andy says, it's all thought through, then tried and tested. Thanks Andy.
The reason some mounts center better than others has little to none to do with the quality. The budget mounts you’ve used seem to be applicable to a range of rail sizes like 11-13mm where as the other pair seems to be specific to the size of the rail your r10 is using (most likely 11mm). This is natural because you can’t center something at the exact same spot if it has the ability to move on the axis it’s being catered on. I love your videos lo they helped me a lot as I’ve only just purchased my first ever air rifle! Im subscribed and will definitely be revisiting your channel for various tips and reviews!
This is probably the best and easiest tutorial on setting up thanks for the help 👍
When I was in the u.s army('83) they taught us using second method on open sight of M16. However after watching this video I'd prefer first method.
Method one ftw!!! 💪👷
I have used method two since I was a youngster!
On air gun nation there are countless threads requiring many hours of reading on how to level a scope. None as easy as you've stated. Thanks Andy
nice to learn about the mount checking them back to back first
Learning is an ongoing experience. I love the way you explained the importance of better quality mounts. THANK YOU!
No problem, thanks for watching. stay safe. Andy
I've never seen a clearer and more concise explanation of this.
Hi, great video. Method 1 looks great but would it with with a break barrel springer?
Oh man, thank you so much! I didn't know how to do method one until you explained it so well. I've been doing method 2 and jealous everyone doing method 1 and me not know how to do it. Now I feel so smart, lol.
My Bushnell scope just arrived and with this tips i hope it can be more easier to maintain it ty
Very informative especially about the scope mounts lining up cheers
Great video Andy,taught me a lot.
Watched the YT channel Pellets And Pistons zeroing a springer and the last method briefly touched on here stated scopes mostly
= 1 click per 1/4 in at 100 yds
= 2 clicks per 1/4in at 50 yards
= 4 clicks per 1/4 in at 25 yards
( then i guess 8 clicks per 1/4in at 12.5 yards?)
Cheers mate just got my air rifle yesterday shot it today sights a bit of howpfully this will help me out
Excellent video. For some reason my instinct says #2 procedure. Thank you
Thanks Andy, straightforward clear and concise
cheers Andy, always refreshing to go over stuff again.
First option looks like the simplest and easiest...
Thanks!
Just bought a TX200 Mk3 and new to the sport so this is invaluable. Thank you very much! 👍
I love this dudes Channel.
Very nice method, I always used the 2 method because I have springers and nitros, but now I have a pcp and will try the 1 on it :D
GREAT VIDEO, I'M GETTING INTO, AIR RIFLE. AND YOUR VIDEO, HAS HELP ME , ALOT. THANK YOU.
Thank you so much! I never thought to use the first method
Thanks very much. Back in the 70s I had an armourer to do that sort of thing for me. Got to do it myself now, so this is very helpful.
Thanks for this now I know why my new BSA lightning GRT XL se wouldn't sight in with hawke fast mounts 3+9+50 ir,. I took the gun back and asked them to exchange it which they did thinking there was a problem with the gun, now when my new gun arrives in the shop Ile know exactly how to put the scope, thanks once again. Ohh and thanks for one of your other vids on 177 Vs 22 🤷 well I went for the 177. Always had 22 in the past but think the 177 as the advantage with its flatter trajectory. Tahh mate 👍👍
Such a clear a d precise tutorial. Rare to find on TH-cam.
I know this is 5 years old now, But Excellent Tutorial Andy, Keep up the great work
I’ve been zeroing in completely the opposite way. When it says up on the adjustment I thought NATURALLY that the scope would go up. Next time do the opposite of what seems logical. Got it 😡
As others have said simple to understand and well explained
Best and simplest explanation I've seen.
As a newbie I found this very helpful,great video as always,thanks.
Hey!! I was wanting to hear and use that 3rd method. Ya got me on the build up of anticipation and then. Dropped me off the edge like a hot tater. Well done and concise video as always Andy. Thanks
Just bought a HW97KT so i guess I'll have to use method 2 because if having to pull lever,
Thx
Thank you for the three different methods of zeroing.
i use method 1.. Always have done :)
I have a Wood Work bench vice, that i have fitted with soft rubber jaws, to securely and carefully, hold the gun.
But i dont zero to the previous shot personally..
As with each pellet being slightly "off", i zero my scope to a tight grouping. So that my scope is always Zero'd to a target, regardless whether i get a slight pellet stray or not.
Always worked very well for me :)
Hi. Is your rifle a springer? Can you clamp a springer and get consistent results?
This is the best no B/S tutorial on the net ,excellent Sir
Got a new rifle two weeks ago and learned the hard way that you just cannot swap ammo types. They all hit at very different places.
Yes but with a springer you have to load gun ,so has to be moved makeing it hard to return to exact position,
New to air rifles. So glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work. It's very much appreciated.
A very informative video and brilliant teacher. Well done Sir
Thanks very much Andy, clear, concise & it works. It was a great help.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you !
Thank you Andy..If only other @youtubers@ could be as clear, concise and see there is no need for Bloody Music, on an informative Video.
Beast tutorial I've seen on zeroing a scope 👍
That’s fantastic and so clear and concise ,I’m a novice so will do this when rifle arrives from preorder thank you
Do you adopt the same technique for Zeroing in a Red Dot please ?
My mind goes like this. If I’m right of the bulls eye, i’d want to adjust left. If I’m high on the target, I’d want to go lower on adjustment.
This method totally ignores my way of thinking but it works.
Why is that?
Very useful unless your shooting a springer .... do appreciate matey really good break down video appreciate this is not definitive but must admit never thought about plumb line at distance. Really good video you have put as much as can do without mowing the weeds and made me excited about by fitting my new scope tomorrow. Maybe mow a few weeds and give some advice on zeroing springers? Sorry if i missed it and you already have done
I'd love to a tutorial on the calculations/amount of clicks needed for adjustment.
Great explanation! I get it finally.
i just use a laser bore sighter to get it really close most scopes come preset at 100 yards which can thro you right off the target at say 10 to 20 yards which is where i shoot at mostly 20 yards tho so i use the bore siter and with in about 4 shots i have it nailed ,, good video tho
I use the shoot a small group and adjust in stages.(purely a convenience) but a thing that has cropped up with Scopes that I have Bought is that the adjusting and magnification knobs are very hard to turn. Presumably they rely on "o" ring seals to seal and provide friction positioning . I have tried putting silicone oil on the bit where the knobs meet the tube but with only slight improvement probably a second "o" ring that the oil could not reach? ( had to notice that Andy seems to have no problems with stiff controls and one of my scopes is the model he was demonstrating in best budget scopes)
I wish I'd known about the first method a few weeks ago. I always use method 2 but after this video, not anymore! Thanks Andy. 👌
Useful and great video for beginners such as myself, thanks Andy...
Thank you Andy!
Thanks Andy. Very well explained
Awesome tutorial 👌
Thank you.
dag homie you trying to aim for the moon with dat scope.. you could star gaze wit dat thing
Best tutorial on TH-cam
It looks like those budget mounts that were off-centre were possibly made for an 11mm dovetail. BSAs, having a 13mm dovetail, would show that up if you reversed one of the mounts.
I had already watched this video but I followed you great advice and have watched it again.
I will watch it again tomorrow just before I zero in my new scope.
P.S. it was great to meet and chat to you again down at Vector Air today.
What about springers. You cant really leave it in a fixed position as you need to load it.
Is it easier to zero at 15, 20, 25, out to my preferred zero of 30m. I find my pcp easier than any of my springers.
Great channel Andy lad
Great video. Noticed that you suggested using a Workmate to hold rifle. Can you show how you would do this? It would be really helpful.
As a complete novice, I found this really useful so thank you! I'm still trying to figure what a plum line is mind!
He just means any true vertical line, you could use the edge of a building or a weight hanging on a string
Really enjoy your video's Andy. I'm new to the sport and I have found them to be really easy for a beginner to understand and jargon free. Thanks again, your my go to advisor.
good work thanks for looking after us new guys
What distance should you zero your scope from? I live in a flat and have to zero from 15feet. Ive been out a couple of times but couldn't hit a barn door from 20mtrs🤣. I even gave it to a gun shop to zero for me, and when i got it home i couldn't barely hit the target card from 15feet. Ive kind of given up on it all. I have a 95 and an 80, both 177 and fitted with hawke 3-9×40 mil dots, both i can't set up effectively. Also got a £80 Remington Express with open sights that i can hit a matchstick from 25mtrs with!
Very much enjoy your videos. Just thinking of returning to air rifle shooting and happy to see my style scope alignment is still appropriate. Picking a rifle and scope is a bit more difficult now as there is so much choice. I’ll have to check your reviews to make sure I choose a decent package without breaking the bank.
Well done Sir. The first method is so much better than what I was doing. Thank you for the lesson and for the tip on better clamps BKL. I will get them soon.
I've always wondered how to get two inherently curved surfaces level when first attaching the scope, so this was really useful - thank you! All the very best with this channel!
after watching your vids 2021 and looking back at this, the difference is amazing, you should have a look at the first ones you did Andy, will give you a laugh, youre so much more fluent now days, but like all your vids , it was very interesting, keep up the great work
Very helpful Andy
👍
Hi Andy, have watched and digested this tutorial but could you tell me how to break the barrel if my rifle is in a work mate vice? Also is there an adjustment I need to do forward or backwards to set my eye distance from scope I have just purchased my first air rifle for 40 years :) so need all the adjustments so I can be more sure I have the rifle set and any miss shots are down to my need for practice... thanks for your time... Kevin
Good informative video thank you
Hi Andy. When I first zeroed in my scope, I put the gun in the workmate, fired 5 shots, then moved the crosshairs to the (approximate) geometrical center of the impact points.
I repeated that procedure and got about half inch groups at 30 yards, which I thought was good enough. Could you please comment what's wrong about that method, or why your method is better ?
BTW thanks for the plumline tip AND the mounts. It never crossed my mind that the mounts would be inaccurate or that the crosshairs would not be level.
Thank you, for (another) superb review. Really appreciated.
as a new airgunner, this info was awesome. Thanks !
I’ve always used method 2 but method one seems far easier and quicker. Thanks buddy.
No problem 👍
Wow Andy, I’m so glad I found this channel
Welcome aboard!
Very informative thanks mate
