I know this has probably been asked a million times, so forgive me. I finally got my N6 all put together and I'm off to the range tomorrow to zero my Vortex PST 4-16x50 scope. If I'm going to be zeroing in at 100yds, does it matter which magnification I have the scope set at. I've always heard use the highest magnification, but 16 power seems a little extreme at 100yds. Thanks in advance.

Re: Zeroing Question
Shouldn't matter. It's a quality scope and zero shouldn't shift with magnification. If it does, send it back and they'll fix it.

Re: Zeroing Question
I am "no" expert, but I always boresight mine, then start at 25 yards on the <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">lowest</span></span> magnification.
I then move it on out to 100 yards, or whatever distance I plan to set my zero at.

Re: Zeroing Question
Depending upon conditions using a high magnification can distort the target. Use enough mag to aim small, but not overkill. People often over mag and it can show in the results.

Re: Zeroing Question
What is an N6?
Use what ever power as long as you can see the hits, changing the power up or dowm will not change POI (point of aim), if it does
there is something wrong with the scope. If you change the ocular adj. after zeroed POI will change some times.

N6 = Noveske 308 rifle.
I already bore sighted the rifle, so I should be close. Thanks for the replys

Re: Zeroing Question
I think you are confusing zero or POA with range finding. Set your parallax and
zero at any power you are comfortable with.

Re: Zeroing Question
It is just me, I always Zero my rifles at 27 or 33 yrds first then move out to the long range for true zero. POA/POI should not be effected by power setting.

Re: Zeroing Question
I simply yank the bolt, peer down bore, sight on corner, adjust turrets to same location...then let 'em rip at 100. Always on paper, and zero in 10 or less. But whatever works for you, go for it.

Re: Zeroing Question
For what its worth I always start at 50 yards and then move to 100. Really does not matter at what magnification your at as long as your paralax is set right. Again just my two cents on this.
