This guy is simple and to the point. I've watched other 20 minute youtube videos on how to sight in a rifle and at the end of them you dont even remember what the truck you were watching in the first place.
The scope turret says UP because you want the bullet to impact higher, but the cross-hairs actually move down forcing you to move the barrel upwards. The exact opposite is true when using iron sights; you move the rear sight up forcing you to bring the front sight up causing the bullet to impact higher. Hope that helps.
Hello to all here, I read some of the comments here and , I'm amazed at how we tend to pick at stuff other then the subject at hand. Mr. Painter has taken the time to instruct some of us in a less expensive method of sighting the rifle Mr.Painter may have been at 100 yards distant to show this . But the method does work and it is call a DEAD ZERO! I used this method on a grdhg that was at 781 yards according to two lazer range finders, the 2nd shot the grdhg was dispatched clean.
This is how I do it and with todays ammo and component shortage, this 2 shot "system" will also help to save you some money and reloading supplies. I also don't know why there are any dislikes to this video. The guy is straight up trying to show you guys how to quickly zero your rifle scope in. In a much simpler way than many of us have been taught..
One of the greatest people ever! i know he may come off a little corny, but this video taught exactly what it ssaid it would, the on-camera guy was concise and easy to understand, with no screwing around. Wish MORE videos were so perfect.
or there just anti gun fuck tards or cops who fear the public. there are alot of hypocrite cops who only want to be the ones with guns. those people are the ones to be worried about and should be under supervision of a councelor 24/7
i just tried it at 25 yards. 75 feet and it took me three shots. first i missed all to gether. on a 2x2 foot peice of drywall. so i used my boarsight and centered the scope. then took a shot. i hit far left top of the drywall. i aimed on the bullseye and moved the cross hairs till it lined up with my hole then i reaimed and took a shot. and hit dead on my mark. this method works like a hot dam.
6771Randy Farmer says! We use a lead sled on or bench & that’s how we quickly adjust for new scope mounting & zero in !! It certainly works with fewer shots!! Does take two people todo!!
Great method that I've used for years explained simplicity well, nicely done sir . One word of caution is having it very well nested and held down enough to reduce movement when you or the person turning touches the knobs. Once the knobs are contacted , settle back in before turning them. I've also had surprisingly good success bore sighting a new scope by pulling the bolt and eying up the target down the barrel
I’ve been watching long range videos all week. This is the best most concise video I’ve seen that actually showed a view through the scope.... who would have ever thought of that...? It’s the only video that showed a live shot view through the scope. Nice work video guy/camera man.
This finally explained it to me. I couldn't understand when I moved the turret up, the reticle moved down. Same for left and right. It's kind of counter intuitive. But I see now you are moving the reticle to the POI then moving the rifle to the POA. Thanks.
Enjoyed your video...thanks🏆 Here's a little trick I use with no shots fired as money was tight for me in the old days. Thought I would share with you being you were so nice to share. Take a string with fishing weight or rock tied on and hang from a strong limb that does not move and no wind is blowing. Line up the vertical on the crosshairs till lined up with string. Next tighten down the mounting screws and you're done. No bore sighting needed. Next place a target at 25 yards...looking at target with both eyes open superimposing a spot on the target with left eye and right thru the scope till they are one and that is your dead center spot regardless of the crosshairs. Hold tight on that spot and wherever the crosshairs are move them to that spot and you have a dead center bullseye every time without firing a shot saving money on ammo....if you're not confident in this procedure fire one if you're going to go deer hunting to make it's dead on. Good luck and God Bless.....Alvin
I love it!! I tried it out yesterday and you definitely need a range buddy. Without a sled, the bags weren't enough to keep the deer slayer steady enough to do it by myself. Got a LOT closer in just four rounds than I ever have before though! No more three shots, adjust, three shots, adjust... all day.
Finally a video that shows the difference between adjusting the turrets to the spot of impact and why. Most new shooters don't get this and adjust the recital the wrong directions thinking that the turret is moving the recital down or windage it moving the recital left or right as per the direction arrow on the turret cap. Thank you, I've shared this video.
That's how it's done!! If you want to get just a bit more accuracy out of it, shoot the first one and make the adjustment. Then shoot 3 more times, but instead of aligning the cross hairs to the bullet holes make desired point of aim the approximate center of the 3 shots you have just taken.
I think the reason that many shooters use three shots is that is what they were taught in the military. I know I was. You fire three shots and then adjust for the group. I do believe I like this two-shot system a lot better..
Nicely done! At the price of ammo these days, saving 10 or more rounds at the range trying to sight in your scope is worth $$$$! Thanks again for sharing.
This is a great way to zero a scope; but, you have keep the rifle completely steady when you start turning the knobs or this won't work. That is easier said than done. By counting the number of inches your bullet strikes from you can calculate how far to turn your knobs. For example, 3 inches low at 100 yards on a scope with 1/4 MOA scope means you move the reticle down 12 clicks. This moves the reticle to the strike of the round and you don't have to hold the rifle in a rock solid stead rest in order to make a precise adjustment.
Excellent tip! For the past week, I have been designing a clamping system in my head, to hold the rifle perfectly still, so I could adjust the scope in the same fashion. Your way is much easier! Thank you!
Perfect video! Thank you! I always wondered if you moved the cross hairs to the shot or if you were moving the shot to the crosshairs when you adjusted it. Again thank you for showing this!
That's how I did my BB gun, when I was a kid, back in the 1970's :) Pump it up, put it in a vise, one shot and adjust. I thought I was a genius! Totally worked, but that Crosman 760 was not an accurate rifle. Having grown up, I do 3-shot groups and adjust. 3-shots and adjust, until it is dead on. But I love shooting so... :)
For those whose shots are not on paper the best method before zeroing especially if you replace the scope is to remove the bolt look down the barrel and make sure that the target looks like it is on the paper and the scope corresponds with the barrel then replace the bolt and then do the two shot system! Nice video!
Thank you Doug! Great video on sighting in your rifle and your explanation utilized an excellent ABC teaching style. Accurate, Brief, and Concise. Great job and thanks much!
Oh, thank you for showing this video, it makes sense a lot for me, I used to go to the range and shot many ammos and never hit the zero, but i hope this will guide me to change my sight scope good in the coming season, again, many thanks for your zero a rifle, it's a biggest help.
That's why sight in targets have 1/4" grids. Scopes move the impact 1/4" per click so you can count the number of clicks that you'll need to crank in to be zeroed at that range.
learned this method years ago , but always called it the 1 shot method . once you dial the cross hairs to the bullet hole not much else to do. thanks for sharing =)
Only very experienced shooters who can say with certainty that they made a good first shot should do this. Everyone else, even if you consider yourself a "good shot" should do a 3 shot group before making any adjustments on your scope. And I'm thinking that anyone who shoots enough to be able to do this doesn't need a RUclips video to tell him how.
Can use the same method for a 3 round group. This method is versus the "normal" method of calculating how many MOA or MIL you are off for the range you are at and making those adjustments on your scope. He told his turret twister to move certain clicks. This is not really necessary. Just have him turn until you tell him to stop on the POI. Or if your gun is in a secure hold, just twist the turrets yourself until the crosshair moves to the POI. No range estimates needed. No MOA calculations needed. Either calculating the clicks to twist your turret (which works if you cannot hold your rifle secure) or just twisting your turrets till your crosshair moves to your POI, they both do the same thing. Put your crosshair of your scope over where your bullet POI will be.
@@jungleno. you have other issues if your first shot is considered a fouling shot. Not sure how many shots you think you get when hunting but after the first shot, targets scatter.
Article years ago in a mag. I believe it was field and stream, it was called 3 shots to zero. I have been using it ever sense. You gotta be old to remember it.
I have been using this method for years and it works great. No one showed me how to do it, just figured it out. Only thing not explained is that the adjustments have right handed threads and screwing it clockwise moves the crosshair towards the adjustment knob and away from the knob if turned counter clockwise.
Like a lot of things, some scopes are tougher than others and some are built with better internal mechanisms. An inexpensive scope may be just the ticket for a .22lr and hold it's zero for years, but that same scope mounted to a center-fire rifle may loose it's zero quickly due to the greater forces placed upon it. The trick is to match the purpose of the rifle to the cartridge that will meet that purpose and then find a scope that will physically and optically allow the purpose to be met. :)
@CEAChris Most cameras with a zoom lens will "lose light" when they are zoomed in due to the long focal lenght. The first shot was taken under a covered shelter with tha camera focused on the rear optic of the scope...muted light. The second shot was taken under the same shelter (assumed) but zoomed in on a very light colored target on a light background...this will cause the camera's light meter to adjust down changing the look of the shot as you pointed out. The sighting in system works well.
the seems like the best way Ive seen. two videos explained this and the others ive seen are way over complicated. as long as your scope is resting on the gun correctly i can't see any major problems sighting like this.
The one think that will help people understand a little better is that when you move the up/down left/right scope adjusters, when looking through the scope the cross hair moves in the opposite direction of the adjustment, if you click up, it actually moves down. That is why it appears backwards in the video.
I thought of this one day when it was taking me many shots and a bunch of ammo to sight in a rifle one time and wondered if it would work, I never did try it though. Thanks for showing me that this does indeed work.
I'm not sure how anyone could do it differently. My father taught this to me when I was just a small kid with my 22 rifle. One thing left out of this is what range do you start with to make sure your on paper 25 yards is a great starting point.
This is the best and easiest video to understand and this method also works with pellet and bb guns so idk why this video even has 1 dislike when other's that are hard to follow have no dislikes. Good content
This is really a great video but it neglects to mention that the rifle should be bore-sighted before bringing it to the range. With a bolt action it is relatively easy, but if you can't look down the bore a laser boresight may be worth purchasing. Rifle should be boresighted beforehand because you may not even get on paper after scope has been mounted on rifle.Rifle should be entirely stationary for all shots at the range. Use a sled of some kind, especially if you do this alone.
To the haters Yes it works I prefer to shoot a group of 3 or 4 to make sure of any fliers I cause. But it works and you can keep doing it to fine tune it if wanted he is showing the basics of how to do it. Also if I was as experienced as he is and trusted my rifle, ammo and myself 1 shot might work but I am not so small groups work fine
@CorneliusZelius With your Vortex you don't need to use this method. Take a shot Then put your scope back on bull and use your recital to see how far you're off from zero. Then you take that number and adjust on your scope turrets. That's a great advantage of mil/mil and MOA/MOA
@CorneliusZelius I am sitting in same boat, been shooting iron sights on AR's, subs, pistols, shottys for years. Just purchased my first bolt action, Savage 11FCNS, too bad I skimped on a scope and bought a Barska 6-24x42 can't wait
I had a 13 year old yesterday who developed an anticipation of recoil habit. He was shooing a 270 bolt action and would close his right eye as he pulled the trigger. I let him shoot my Mossberg MVP in 556/223 and he had no trouble with the recoil. (my rifles shoot holes touching at 100 yards) I went through my "how to ignore the recoil" talk and went back to his 270. He began hitting the target with a 1/2 moa pattern.
This guy is simple and to the point.

Because some people just can't help but be negative; it's in their nature.
No kidding.
or there just anti gun fuck tards or cops who fear the public. there are alot of hypocrite cops who only want to be the ones with guns. those people are the ones to be worried about and should be under supervision of a councelor 24/7

just how i like teaching videos....simple and educational
perfectly explained
I usually spend like 30 minutes zeroing in my scopes, going through way too many rounds getting it perfect. This method is crazy good!
why is this video just so good? why isn't every fire arms video like this?

Well s.o.b. never though of doing it that way ,what a great tip thanks

Thank you very much!!! Real professionals make it simple and get straight to the point!!!💯👍👏🇨🇦
Interesting 🤔 the best and easiest way yo zero the scope. I am Very impressed by this guys!
👏
I’m glad he shared this. It’s the exact method I have used, and have taught my sons, to use.
Thanks for the information I will have to try this out when I go to the range to sight mind in.
Thank you for this great method for sighting my scope !
You know, i never actually thought about doing it thisway. Best one yet! (I feel dumb now, thinking how i should 0 in my scopes)
That's why sight in targets have 1/4" grids.
Scopes move the impact 1/4" per click so you can count the number of clicks that you'll need to crank in to be zeroed at that range.
*At 100 years*
Unless it’s in MRAD
Great video. Well explained and enjoyable to watch. Thank you
Worked amazing - so fast and simple, thanks!!
I can't wait to try this!
Makes perfect sense. The gun shooting straight so put the sites were the first hole is. Bravo
WOW! you made that look so easy! thanks!
learned this method years ago , but always called it the 1 shot method . once you dial the cross hairs to the bullet hole not much else to do. thanks for sharing =)
Nice! I love it!
Doug, we’ll use this awesome two shot sight in video during the annual Hunter Sight In.
Its great for review by all participants.
Thank You! 👍🏽👍🏽
Wow you are a good teacher the best video I have see about sightings
This video is money 💰 thanks for this easy set up

First shot is a fouling shot. Discount it.
@@jungleno. you have other issues if your first shot is considered a fouling shot. Not sure how many shots you think you get when hunting but after the first shot, targets scatter.
Use a lead sled, and shoot in groups of 3. If you can't get it sighted in at 100 yd, you shouldn't own guns
Article years ago in a mag. I believe it was field and stream, it was called 3 shots to zero. I have been using it ever sense. You gotta be old to remember it.
great video ! just got a new scope and this is going to save me a lot of ammo . thanks for the vid . happy shooting
This method works for me. Thanks.
And it works every time with every scope.
That is the best system I have ever seen. Thanks!
Thumbs up, Pure educational.
I have been using this method for years and it works great. No one showed me how to do it, just figured it out. Only thing not explained is that the adjustments have right handed threads and screwing it clockwise moves the crosshair towards the adjustment knob and away from the knob if turned counter clockwise.
yall mak this so easy!!! Tjhis video was quick and straiht to the point! I will recomend this video when people ask me questions.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!!!!
Awesome! I just figured this one out on my own with my pellet rifle, then look it up to see if it was a thing. Quickest zeroing in ever!
Sir I salute you, I don't know how I didn't think of that before, it does make sense
Great video, that was so simple and easy
Like a lot of things, some scopes are tougher than others and some are built with better internal mechanisms.

This was perfect!!! Thanks for the knowledge brother!
Good Deal and Cool tip! Thanks for the pointer :)
Finally got the chance to give this a real world try with my new CVA Scout V2 450 and scope setup. Once on paper, it worked perfectly.
Cool... I really enjoyes your video.... Thanks for making it!
Great video. Excellent information. Thanks a bunch. I am going to try this tomorrow!!!
Excellent explanation of the "Battleship" or "Broad side" Method. Adjust your sights the the first hit (splash)
best video on sighting I've seen!

The first shot was taken under a covered shelter with tha camera focused on the rear optic of the scope...muted light.

The one think that will help people understand a little better is that when you move the up/down left/right scope adjusters, when looking through the scope the cross hair moves in the opposite direction of the adjustment, if you click up, it actually moves down. That is why it appears backwards in the video.

@CorneliusZelius With your Vortex you don't need to use this method.
Take a shot
Then put your scope back on bull and use your recital to see how far you're off from zero. Then you take that number and adjust on your scope turrets. That's a great advantage of mil/mil and MOA/MOA
Great video thanks for sharing 👊🏼 I’ll try that next time out.
