THE FINAL STEP: THREE-SHOT GROUPS

Whichever bore-sighting method you’ve used, the next steps are the same on the firing range. To ensure reliable results, always fire from a rested position when performing these steps. (If you are using an adjustable objective or side focus model scope, perform any correction for parallax before continuing, as explained in “Understanding Parallax” on pages 24-27.)

1.Fire a shot or two.

2.If you are several inches off center, make an appropriate amount of adjustment to move the reticle to the center of the target.

3.Carefully fire a three-shot group.

4.Use the center of that group as a reference point for the final adjustments to windage and elevation.
