I have the hardest time sighting in guns, that would piss me off.
?, you just fire 1 round with the gun on a rest, then adjust the sight over the bullet contact point afterwards, without moving the gun.
do that a couple of times to make sure, but it's not hard.

Pretty easy with a BB gun. Try not letting the gun move with a .300 Winmag or a .338 Lapua.
Thats not how it works. You hold the reticle so the cross hairs are centered over the spot you aimed at, then move the turrets till the cross hairs are over your bullets point of impact. You only need 1 round if you do it perfect.
I know, I know but I manage to fuck it up. Then my sights are so far off, its hard to get back.
yeh I've turned my sights the wrong way before to be fair and then been confused as fuck when the second shot is worse lol
Clarifying, you have to re-aim at the original point of aim then without moving the gun adjust the scope to the actual impact location. This gets you close. Several groups will help you get the final zero.
yeh, closer you are, less times you have to try.
That's because you're a fag
Many high end scopes have a marked zero point. They normally zero and then adjust for the shoot. So long as the rifle/scope was properly zeroed in and set on the scope these types of things are not an issue.
Yup, that's why you keep a dope book. Even if the knobs don't adjust to zero, you just write down where your zero is.
