[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1462937, member: 12282"] Before you got to the the range, at night , you can also find a distant light if available in your neighborhood. Get things all steady with some sand bags, lead shot (I always still have a variety of lead shot in bags from my shotgun reloading days), and bore sight to the light. Optimal is a light that does NOT fill the whole bore and is around 100 yrds... Then adjust the scope to also center on the light. You will arrive at the range already close to sighted. Start at 50yrds and a large target..... Other advantage to this approach. It really allows use of Burris signature ring inserts. You can, if desired, center the scope crosshairs in the middle R to L. And move the Up Down to the bottom , then raise it a couple M or inches. Now, if you are really patient, you can use the ring inserts to rotate the scope into allignment. So that long range elevation adjustments put the crosshairs into the sweet spot of the scope optics. Hope that makes sense.... [/QUOTE]
