How to zero a Bushnell 6500 tactical scope?

[Booty]

I just got a Bushnell 6500 Elite Tactical 2.5-16X42 scope. I am going to be sighting it in tomorrow and had a question on how to re-zero the scope after I get it sighted in at 100 yards? I read the manual 2 or 3 times and it talks about the Regular dials, but not the tactical adjusting turrets. I looked inside the little hole on top, but really can't see a screw or anything. Any help will be GREAT.

Mine came with a allen wrench also, but it don't look like that is what its for. Do you have the 6500 elite tactical with the turrets?

Loosen the turret screw with the provided allen wrench until the turret turns freely. Once it turns freely (no clicks), turn the turret to the "zero" mark and then tighten the screw. Done.

Perfect, thank you. It just didn't look right and din't want to force nothing. How do you like that scope? What kind of yardage do you shoot with it?

Why do you need to mark it?

No, no, no. You don't need to "mark" anything. I was referring to turning the turret until the "0" on the scope turret is lined up with the "zero" mark (i.e. - index mark/line) on the base of the elevation assembly. There is a pic on p. 7 of the manual I linked you to that is worth 1,000 words compared to my ability to explain it better!

I understand 100%. I wish they would of sent the manual with the scope. They sent a small manual, but it didn't say anything that you sent me. Thanks again.

The turrets pull straight off, reindex the brass splines lining up the zero hash, reinstall the allen bolt.
