If your scope is correctly mounted, using a boresighter should get you close enough to print a bullet hole on a large target at 50 yards. No boresighter, even a laser boresighter, will sight in your gun for you. You must shoot the gun and adjust your scope accordingly to sight it in. Every gun is an individual. No two are alike, even if the serial numbers are consecutive. If a particular gun shoots a certain kind of ammunition well, there's absolutely no guarantee that an identical gun will like it at all.

Also, your scope is at its strongest when your windage and elevation adjustments are in the center of the available adjustment range. This is called mechanical zero. When you buy a scope, turn the dials all the way one way and then the other, counting how many full and partial turns, then split that number and find the middle. Start there for your adjustments. Many rear bases have windage adjustments. Use them.

Sorry about that and thanks Range junkie for giving a better explanation. I often forget that a member may not know what a heavy duplex is or looks like. There are many different reticles such as the target dot with fine crosshairs, various range finding reticles, Mil dot versions for range estimation and the European post. None of them have anything to do with the weight of the scope. Here's Leupolds website address, they have a contact section where you can ask your question without making a phone call. http://www.leupold.com/ Here's their service department. http://www.leupold.com/corporate/res...oduct-service/ If you go here then click on each individual scope it will show you what reticles are available. http://www.leupold.com/hunting-and-s...oducts/scopes/ For 50 bucks Leupold will put in any reticle you want in one of their scopes. Had a friend that had a broken scope and they repaired it free and put in a different reticle for him. |
