[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1116953, member: 50867"] lightbulb Set your scope on lowest power. Clamp the rifle in something like a barrel vise. Move the rifle into position so the muzzle comes in contact (or nearly in contact) with a wall. A dark colored wall in a moderately lighted space works well. Run a cleaning rod with a pointed jag down the barrel until it contacts the wall and leaves a mark. Don't move nothin' While you look through the scope, run a piece of white paper up the wall in front of the scope until its bottom edge lines up with the scope's horizontal cross hair. Mark the wall where the paper was when that condition appeared. Measure the distance between the pointed jag mark and the paper edge mark and you've not only got the distance you need you've got it to the closest degree of accuracy you could ever need. [/QUOTE]
