Of all the "how to zero in your sights", this is the best and easiest to understand and follow for us dummies. Thank you very much.
Agreed
As a beginner this was just what I was looking for, many thanks.
Agree this was the clearest, basic explanation i found on yt also. Thanks for this, it helped me out
Take one shot and adjust your crosshairs to first shot then aim center of target works rverytime
True great explaination

Absolutely!😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That was an uncomplicated straight forward lesson in how to zero a rifle. Brilliant!
I’ve been shooting for over 55 years and have bounced from long guns to pistols , but I’ve NEVER USED A SCOPE . Short distance shooting is still working. Lol . Longer range a high in a fence post looks like a squirrel. Ha ha . Great instructions. Thank you. Thank you for your service. If I’m wrong, I apologize. A superior instructor has the ability to covey comprehensive and complex information to others in a way that is simple to understand for the brightest students and the not so bright students. You sir have that gift .
I absolutely with the comments, straight forward and easy to understand. I work in a gun store and I try and be patient and easy to understand to new people's, sadly most gun stores are not patient and freely giving with the basics to new people. Thank you fine sir for yet another great video, well done yeeh ☘👑🖒
That's when you tell them to go to TH-cam..no one knows it all..but TH-cam is my Best Teacher. Thanks for YT.
Probably the most straightforward and simplistic tutorial for someone with no experience. Excellent!
Thanks a bunch!!! great information for the "beginner" with a scope. I've personally always used iron sights on my 308 rifle. Now that I'm at an age where I need a scope I'll be taking this information with me to the range to dial in my new scope. Thanks again for helping me to understand better as a beginner scope user.
Good video, but reiterating that the directions (up, down, left, right) on the knobs translate to the direction you want the point of impact to change is important/helpful, since it can be counter-intuitive for beginners... I used to think those directions were where I wanted to reticle to shift. Maybe I am the only one, but it took me a while to permanently remember that principle.
same for me here man
On less advanced scopes without labeling you click toward point of the hit which means next time the cross hairs should be closer to bullseye. These modern fancy scopes are doing same thing with labels "UP & DOWN". Make you think you are going up while going down or left when adjusting right.
Same for me took me a fukkkin month before i figured out thats not what it ment and finally zerod my scope
Adjustments are to move the point of impact to the target aimed. Makes a difference for up and down for the beginner.
Thank you for clarification, I had it backwards for a long while trying to move the sights to the impact
Great video for beginners and people looking for guidance on how to properly zero their scope. Straight forward, easy to understand, and no "fluff". Great video! Keep up the great content.
Thank you. For a beginner, this was very helpful.
Agree, only ever really used iron sights (or tactical sights) and maybe one cheap scope on an air rifle so very clear and helpful thanks! Now I need to research how to select a scope..
@@smudgepost my recommendation for a great easy to use beginner scope for under $100 would be the Bushnell banner 2
I tried to explain this to my daughter and for some reason I just couldn’t explain it to where she could understand. This video was perfect. I put it on the big screen, she had one of those lightbulb moments, and it’s been a game changer ever since. I’m sorry for being emotional but you provided us with a bonding moment that I’ve been longing for for 8yrs. Thank you,sir.
This is my first time zeroing my scope, i don't have any idea about zeroing. It was very helpful and thanks for uploading the videos.
Chasing the bullet hole with the center crosshairs is the most common way to sight in a scope, but there’s a better way and a whole lot more accurate way of dialing your scope in.
Trying to adjust the point of impact to the center of the crosshairs can be a pain in the butt sometimes and they never come out perfectly accurate in my opinion. There’s a better way of sighting in your rifle scope and its simply just changing around your process. The gun is pointing at the point of impact and the scope is at the point of aim, so instead of bringing or “adjusting” the bullet hole up to the center crosshairs what you want to do and should do is bring your center crosshairs towards the bullet hole made for the most accuracy. For years I’ve been doing it wrong and basically lucking out, but not anymore. My scopes are accurate and precise now and it’s a simple process how to do it. Here’s a short video that explains it better than I ever could. th-cam.com/video/EmxbECg2znQ/w-d-xo.html
This was THE best most simplest way to explain how to adjust the scope dials!
Thanks for this vid my friend, but maybe you are interested in a much easier way to sight in your scope. In theory you need only ONE pellet with this method. What you need is a rifle stand or a setup where the rifle stays on target when you turn the turrets. It goes as follows: Position your target at 25/50/75/100 yards, what ever distance you want to zero at. Then place your rifle in a stand or contraption and aim for the center of the target and shoot. The pellet will punch a hole somewhere. You know can use this hole to zero in your scope. Keep your scope pointed at the center of the target and make sure the rifle doesn't move when you do this final step, while looking through the scope, turn the turrets until the reticle is exactly over the hole that the first pellet made. That's it! Now your scope is spot on. The next shot at the center of the target will be spot on. Sometimes there is some fine tuning needed, but with a good quality scope, that's really all there is to it ;-)
Well……that makes a lotta sense. Thank you
Great explanation another good tip to add is dont forget to loosen the screws and set the turret to your true zero mark so it's easy to find zero again after making MOA adjustments
That's exactly what I was wondering about! How do you do that? Does the instructions for that come with the scope?
Thanks very much for a simple, straightforward explanation of how to zero a scope. As silly as this may sound, I had a heck of a time understanding how to zero. My brain told me to move the crosshairs to the point of impact. It's the exact opposite. The point of impact needs to be moved to the crosshairs, so that's the direction you dial the turrets.
Very straight forward, this is the upside of TH-cam. When someone takes the time to explain this from a perspective of an inexperienced person
I appreciate your help. I'm that knucklehead. I'm a gun enthusiast. Shoot pretty well with handguns. Not so hot when it comes to rifles. With that said I've never been in the military nor have I been hunting.
So I'm grateful for the help. Looking forward to getting out and giving this a shot. Thanks again. You're appreciated.
Thank you so much for the kind words brother
Thanks for that. I have always used rear leaf sights or open sights all my life. Now that they mark 1 eyeballs are wearing out, I am attempting to learn to use scopes, so yes, this is very beneficial for people new to using scopes.
Thank you.
Plz note in advance the HEAVY sarcasm: one sights a scope by looking through it at the store, buys it, mounts it, then begins to burn 10 s of rounds of ammo at 100yd without ever cutting paper. Brilliant!!
This video is a clear guide to avoid that waste n frustration.
excellent video and to the point. 4 to 5 mins. is plenty of time for this beginners subject. Thanks
Damn ! You are a good teacher. Lots of people don’t know how to teach even though they are smart and knowledgeable.
Very simple and right to the point, thank you
Puns
This is the most simplest explanation about zero in the scope. Thanks.
You are the man. I had to watch four videos of people trying to explain it until you actually DID explain it. I'm sure I could've figured it out after wasting a bunch of bullets experimenting, but this is much more helpful.
I normally don't comment, however, your explanation is simplistic and educational, You are correct that your education is not for "Snipers" because you know that the "Clicking" is a "nest" giveaway. Regardless, I appreciate your video.
Thank you so much, I just got a Remington M700, as a new gun owner I have no idea how to use it, you save my day.
For a person who just started shooting this video is perfect for me! Plus gives me the basic knowledge and terminology to look cool in front of my nephews 😎
Now I'm the cool aunt .... thanks!
This video is fantastic for someone like myself that doesn't know any thing about adjusting a scope.
Thanks you i dont know anything about scope i just purchased one like that and this help me to start understanding how it work thank you so much
That was a good explanation, for beginners. The only thing I would add is to fire a three round group before adjusting and then adjust from the center of that group.
I'm one of those non-sniper guys and I sure do appreciate this type of instruction.
Thank you so much for this. Just got my first rifle and I had no idea how to sight my scope in.
Some teachers over explain things, thanks for keeping this simple and easy.
Thank you! I've been shooting over iron sights my whole life, only my eyes just aren't what they used to be, so it's time to start using some optics. The only optics I've used before were in tanks when I was in the Army. This video, along with part 2, really explained the basics of the scope very well.
🙌🏼 Superb, no fluff, to the point block of instruction!! Going from an M16 in the Army to now having my own rifles for hunting 4 legged creatures: thanks to you I can pretend I know what I’m doing at the range 😅
Using optics is my weakest link.... I always considered it cheating, but my eyes are getting worse...good series.....I need this...Thanks
Loosing it at 41 so consider yourself lucky, lol. Just bought my first 3x and I'm thinking, hell, should have bought 7x.
Stress the Four fundamentals of marksmanship !
1. Steady Position
2.Proper Aim (Sight Picture)
3.Breathing
4.Trigger Squeeze
I've just never had to do it or learn it so simple so fast .got it dialed right in .thanks man
Very easy way to explain it for unexperienced people like myself. Thank you
By far the best video I watched explaining how scope works.
This is my first time zeroing in a scope, info was clear and to the point. Thank you
Excellent video. I appreciate you breaking it down for us novices.
We all start the same way and it's awesome to spread the knowledge to those who want to learn
as a experience shooter, this is a great fundamentals video.
Your explanation is so Good ,, you have explain it thoroughly 👍. I too , I'm in an Army snipers team.
A very well kept simple instruction, to the point. My problem is not with your video, but with some of the questions asked about your very well explained lesson. Owning and operating a firearm is a big responsibility & requires common sense! After reading some of the remarks about your video i have to say, if you do not understand this "simple" step of sighting in a scope, you probably shouldn't own ANY firearm. I am not being sarcastic, just that guns can be very dangerous in the wrong hands, before you purchase one get with someone who can teach you so you understand Everything about the gun you want to buy.
I have never had an optical sight, I recently purchased a rifle designed to be used with a scope. It has no iron sight. Your video has been a huge help in understanding how to sight and use my new scope. This is going to be fun!
if your young and or have good eyes, you can hit a squirrel from afar even with an iron site, but gets harder as your eyes fade and things start to look a little fuzzy.
I zero my scope in on a (300) 25 meter zero target for an m-4 carbine. once I get it zeroed in on the 25 meter target I shift over to a 25 -meter scaled silhouette target with target from 70-300 meters. I do good out to 200 meters, but the 250-300 meter not so good at time as the cross hair cover the target and on top of that I 83 years old and the eyes even with glasses is not that at a long distance. (My number two son keeeps telling me to take my time between shot, he was an artillery captain. I enjoyed your videos as I learned a few things I didn't know before I watched them. (I cut my teeth on and M-1 open sights). (Mississippi gulf Coast).
Thank you for this video! Easy to understand and implement. I was able to zero my (really basic) scope on the range today. I got an awesome cluster. My husband was impressed. Lol!
I was looking out my bathroom window with my scope. My wife asked me what I was doing? I said I’m adjusting my scope. She said just pour some in the top an gargle it 🤣🤣🤣
😆
lol
I don’t get it. Is this some sort of sexual joke?
@@csm5040 a blond moment lol
@@gustavelaughnowcrylater5309 Come on man, you gotta tell me now!
Excellent. As I have aged I finally got a scope. First rate explanation.
Guess I'll say I'm a graduate from this video... This video helped me get a nik of long range shooting(I'm a long range hunter now)...love you mann👍
That was perfect. How funny that you would point out the right side for that’s where my shoots where landing . Off to right and down. Made it very easy to understand how to adjust. Thanks!!
New SCOPE went both ways put it in the middle on both 25 yrd TARGET dead on bullseye one click to make it perfectly centered. Something about doing it i belive it works great has for me each time
Putting together my first AR and needed this video
So much easier to understand this from this point. So many people make it complicated
Watched 4 or 5 videos and this is exactly the one I needed, thank you!
There is few other ways to do zero ur scop but this one is best and thank u so much.
Very helpful, I zeroed my Model 60 at 50 yards and it is spot on. My only experience prior was iron sights with my issued M14. 440 yrds at the qualifying range was our test which went very well. Scopes are new to me and this was brilliant, thanks.
Got it ! Thank you ! I’m a beginner…. This was the most simple explanation I’ve gotten on this topic.
Yes definitely a good video for somebody trying to figure out how to zero in their scope this is why TH-cam is awesome
This is a life saver when you need one the most!
It's the LOST episode of breaking bad lol 😂
Matey is a G. Sick video. Just watched one 18 mins. I was still clueless. 4 mins with your video job done ✔️ 👍
you answered a question I wanted to ask my pops before he passed. thanks 👊
very very impressive video.. you are a true teacher.. you know sir.. i have watched several videos concerns to scope tutorials.. but you are the one whom simple and short lecture give me full knowledge how to zeroing scope in a minute... thumbs up... dear sir.
Really well explained and super comprehensive. Thank you!
I remember this training early but I remember doing push-ups and flutter kicks with some sit-ups as well. LoL!!!! Great beginners vid...it seems to make you want to find out more by giving you just enough to be halfway useful...well done sir.
This is what I needed, I was always told to shoot to the left I had to turn to the right..... Perfect video for me Thank You
Never sighted a scope before. Very helpful. Thank you
Thank you for this. I have bookmarked it and pointed to this video in my forum like a 100 times
Thanks Brother
Thank you. I am a newbie and this was by far the easiest and best explanation.
Thanks. I needed a KISS refresher. This was exactly that. I havnt shot a scoped rifle since 2005. Been pistol hunting and shooting for a long time. Got confused on this... IE I was over thinking it.
so don't turn the dial literally "up" or "left" but towards where it is labelled "up" or "left". got it
Nathan Scale lol niice
Thanks for this, I know it is very simple if you know this info, but I have found from other videos that it is difficult to explain it easily to novices like myself. Well done!
I've seen a pretty easy zero trick on a vid. last week. Aiming on bullseye fire one round. If it's off, while still aiming at the bullseye adjust scope so it centers up with the first shot. Don't move the rifle from fixed rest. Usually just two shots needed.
Its the best way - both ways work though, just one takes a little longer.
This is the way you adjust sights for Archery and it works fine. You will need to use a sled for your rifle to ensure
there is no movement from the original shot.
i got only one thing to add to this awesome video for beginners ! if you perfectfully weigh all projectiles ,powder and have perfect cartridges the moa will be more accurate ,the store bought ammo is massed produced so its always different shot to shot !!!
MOA will not change reguardless of ammo. Its a fixed value.
Thank you! I have been trying to zero my sight for days, and after watching you video I sorted it out in 10 minutes.
Much appreciated.
beginner here, well explained! excellent !!
Thank you for this tremendous lesson, Mr Mullally.
wow, pretty straightforward explanation, I got it now. thanks for video.
Sir, You helped clear up a misconception about the way that the scope axes were labeled. In essence, they are like "fly to" for instrumentation...
Short and straight to the point! Thanks! Very well explained for a beginner like me
This is also the same logic when using iron sights too, not just optics. M16s, Garand’s, match target micrometer peep sights also operate on clicks. In some cases like Parker Hale they may use an English minute which is 1.2 inches at a 100 yards and so on - so always do good research to find the original instructions. Otherwise you will get frustrated, go broke on expensive ammo, or think something is wrong with an actually perfect rifle. Or same with the Israeli Tavor’s iron sights - learn and use basic math as their manual is set at 1.4cm at 25 meters - not yards! So you may want to make amateur dope sheets of what clicks mean and metric conversions. I started bringing a calculator to the range - and I am no sniper either :)
You made it so easy to understand. Thanks
im a trained sniper in the salvation army.. i hunt for bargains.. and i found this to video to be a steal of a deal..
Well I need to figure this out, 2 brain surgeries, and the most simple thing is difficult, you made it very easy to understand I just need to work harder at it thanks alot, I'm only using a high power air rifle
Thank you, Sir, for the great video! I have learning disabilities and you made the process straightforward and easy to understand.
If anything, just try to address the horizontal axis first, then move on to the vertical axis alignment. It is textbook.
as a new builder this basic info is really helpful. thank you
Great help, thanks. I'm going out now and site in my Weaver scope atop my .22 rifle.
Excellent, I really just needed a straight forward explanation. If I'm shooting at 150-feet than it would be half as much but yeah, I get it, thanks!!!
Thank you for the post because I am one the benefited from this video.
Thank you finally someone on YT who isn’t a hyped up fool. Sir I sincerely thank you for explaining this.
it took me 5 min to be done with mine ...thank u very much
Don't forget which direction you actually turn the knob. Going left, you actually turn the windage to the right.
That so simple thankyou I never shot with scope before. When I was in army I shot with iron sights
Thank you so much!!! Anything you look up always shows the filed guide of this process. As someone who grew up with handgun and shotguns this isnt something I have experience with. Your video made it dead simple!!!
Great video I just bought me a 270 never messed with a scope or anything
