Comment on Spotting Scope Terminology by Tom Meservey

Tom Meservey — Mon, 03 May 2010 01:40:16 +0000

I am looking for a pistol spotting scope. I wear tri-focal glasses so I need something with a fairly large opening so I can quickly pick up the target. I don’t want to have to take my glasses off every time I look through the scope. I would like something in the range of $35-75.00. Is this possible? Thanks

I am looking to repair my Nikon buckmaster laser 800 rangefinder myself. Is there any place I can buy a replacement laser. Thanks for any help

i tried this with my 22lr and it worked great but i did happin to shoot threw a few 2 inch boards and right in to my dads old truck haha he smiled but you could see it kind of buged him but i did clamp it after i had taken a shot to see where it was and then clamed it shot again and just lined up the crosshairs on the hole and till this day i dont miss an squirrels sitting the with ther head poking out up this was the first time i have ever tryed to site in a scope but i would not try that with my new custom 22-250 so its a good thing i know some one to reload cuz shells for that its like 28 bucks for 20 and i hate to just waste good ammo on just paper well good luck

Robert, It is somewhat true that the rifle has been ’sighted-in’ or zeroed if you use this method. However it is basically bore sighted at that point and will not be very accurate at anything other than the 50 yards. A good place to start though. You can achieve the same result placing the firearm in a gun vice and removing the bolt and looking down the bore at a marked point and then looking through scope and dialing the cross-hairs to the same mark. Again though, the firearm is now ‘bore-sighted’ and not truly zeroed at the desired range. After either step move your target to 100 yards and re-fire and again re-zero. The best way to envision the trajectory is to remember your line of sight is laser straight and the projectile (the bullet in this case) arcs, dropping further and faster toward the ground as it flies. So you want the 2 lines (line of sight,straight, and line of fire, arced) to intersect at the desired range.. say 100 yards. I like to sight 2 inches high at 100 yards on my .308 and the.270wsm and a little more on my .223. All used for different purposes so each prepared for their designated use.
Hope this helps.
Mr.E

We were discussing sighting in a rifle today. My friend belived (although we never tried this) that you can sight in a rifle simply by. 1)Securing a rifle (say a 22LR) to a surface so it cannot move during a shot. 2)Look through the scope and have someone place a target say 50 yards away to where the cross hairs are about centered on the target. 3)Take a shot at the target. 4) Adjust the scope’s cross hairs to where the shot hits the target. No other shots need to be taken your gun is now sighted in with 1 shot. Is this possible?

To Ga.
Depending on caliber you should be sighting for 2-3 inches high at 100y (if this is used a hunting rifle especially, you will have a greater chance of hitting the kill zone at anywhere between 100-300y), it will then of course then be hitting somewhat higher at 50 and 75y. So, if your rifle is ZEROED at 200 and hitting on the cross-hairs it may very well be hitting as much as 6 inches higher at 50-75y. Learn about your rounds trajectory.
Check out … http://www.chuckhawks.com/rifle_trajectory_table.htm … There are also many more sites with trajectory tables, information on ballistic coefficient, twist rate to bullet weight etc. Check out Chuck hawks explanation on trajectory … http://www.chuckhawks.com/bullet_trajectory.htm …
Hope this helps.

I’m sighting in my rifle at 200 yds and then at 100 yds, and hiting the target. But then at 75 yds & 50 yds I’m not hiting the target at all what am I doing wrong? My scope was sighted in at 100 yds when I bought the gun

What about the barrel getting hot? Does that factor in?
