[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3542713, member: 15054"] Thanks guys I hope it works out . I just eyeball it has worked for me for many years. If i have a bolt gun I look down the barrel while the gun is in a steady rest and adjust the scope to where the barrel is pointing. This has always got me on paper. I prefer to shoot at 25 yards after a scope is mounted and adjust scope after first shot and then I can test at 50 or 100 yards. I did get a heavy barrel .243 and stuck a scope on it and used a load that shot excellent in another .243. I was shooting 200 yards that day and thought why not. I will look down the barrel and line up on the 8.5x11 paper with a 1" piece of tape on it that is at 200 yards. Set the scope to that spot and then i double checked it at another target at 100. Looked good and I let 1 round fly towards the 200 yard target. 1/2" to the left and 1/4" low. WOW! I waited until my buddy showed up and had him fire the second shot from that gun at the same target. This was going to be the second shot this gun had seen since I had got it. He hit 1/4" low and 1/4" to the left. I did not touch that scope after that and he hunted with it last year and every deer shot died where it was standing. I have not seen that rifle since deer season. :) [/QUOTE]
