[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2551514, member: 100742"] I use a Bushnell Bore sighter, I have had for over 25 Years, and shoot three shots at 25 Yards, adjust scope as needed, then three shots at 50 Yards, again make small adjustments, then three shots at 100 yards, again make adjustments. Shoot several rounds for fun, then go to the 200 Yard range to make sure I'm as LOW as I am supposed to be according to the math. Ex; Zero at 100 should be 3 inches Low at 200 yards, If it is , then I am set with a 100 yard zero, with that new scope. As an aside , I now the load and the bullet are doing what the math said they are supposed to be doing. As I change scopes on my Weatherby Ultralight, in 270 Win once in a while, I take off the 2.5X to 8 X Leupold, and put on the 4.5X to 14 X Leupold, depending on where I will be hunting. When I get home from that hunt , the 2.5 to 8 X goes back on. As this Rifle, Load , Scope combo will not be used if the range is expected to be beyond 300/350 yards, I have never had any concern about running out of Elevation adjustment, even to 400 yards , with those Leupold scopes. This simple process works Ok for me. [/QUOTE]
