In a process that takes only minutes, you can easily adjust your scope so your first shots at the range are on target.  The process is quick, easy, and it saves ammo as well!<\/p>\n<p>This process begins by taping a Caldwell target on the wall approximately 20 feet away from the muzzle.  With the rifle in a Tipton Best Gun vise and the bolt removed, you are then able to line up the target with the bore by adjusting the vise.  Once the target is centered in the bore, the crosshairs are adjusted until they are also zeroed on the target.
