sighting in a new scope
Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2007 5:19 pm
I am going to be mounting a 6.5x20x40mm EFR on a CZ 452 American. I will be using Burris signature zee rings. Since I do not have any bore sighting equipment, I will be trying to sight down the barrel and adjust the scope with the Burris shims. The scope is mechanically centered, so I would like to bore sight it with the burris shims as much as possible. I have read that it would be best to center the scope on the turkeys to keep the reticle centered as much as possible between the chickens and the rams. My range has target holders at 25, 50, and 100 yards. Given the inaccuacy of how I will be bore sighting my scope, I would like to do it at the 25 yard range. My question is:
Is there an elevation adjustment I can use to sight my scope at 25 yards, i.e. 6" high, to give me an equivilant of sighting at 77 meters? Once I have tightened down the scope I can fine tune it, but I think trying to do this at 77 meters is a bad idea...or would be just be more effiAcient to have a gunsmith boresight it before I go to the range? Thoughts?
