Rifle Scopes Sighting-in my new rifle+scope combo...

[BigBaboon]

I'm starting with an FN PBR-XP .308, with a factory-equipped 20 MOA picatinny rail, and a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 scope (which is pre-zero'ed from the factory at 200 meters, not yards).


So now what? How do I zero this combo for 200 yards? Do I just run the elevation down by 80 clicks (1/4 MOA per click), since I'm starting with a 20 MOA rail and the scope's already set for 200...?

This is my first precision rifle setup, so... I have a lot to learn

Go out and shoot the rifle, make the correct adjustments as needed.

Should be close to being sighted in at 200yds. Like lazy said, go out and shoot it. Should be on paper if its bore sighted, just make corrections as per your likes.
