[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 1980217, member: 94154"] Square the tool, train yourself so your NPA is aligned. No error. You nailed it in concept. I *used* to do that too. What looks square, often is not. Now there's a timeline! Have one similar on my Beretta. Awesome. Learned the following from a guy on NWFA Have done it once, best method for when you have to do it in the field: I will bring bright yellow or pink string and split shot in my kit. [LIST=1] [*]Return your scope to mechanical zero (not your set zero on zero stop scopes...) [*]Weight string with something, and hang string with split shot about midline at 21 yards. [*]Remove rifle bolt [*]Bore sight on shot on string [*]While keeping the shot sight-centered in the bore, rotate the rifle until the reticle cross is also centered on the line. (This step is very difficult) [*]Align the vertical reticle line with the string. [*]Tighten [/LIST] If you've done it right, your rifle will be within 3moa at 100. Zero, tracking test, tall target, etc. [/QUOTE]
