I dont know if this is the correct section (if not, ill gladly move it to the correct place):
i need help zeroing my howa 1500 (this is my first scoped rifle).
I would be using it for hunting only.
The farthest i would shoot out is 300 yards.
The scope is a Nikko stirling Nighteater scope 3-10x42.
I can meet at any shooting range near sgv tomorrow (sunday).
Let me know your price also, thanks.

Where did you buy your rifle? Can they bore sight it for you? Sometimes the mfgr claims the scope, if mounted, is bore sighted from the factory. I have a bore sighter but am shooting at West End Gun Club tomorrow morning.

If you have Allen wrenches and a vise or gun vise you can mount it and zero it yourself with no other tools or gimmicks/Boresighter needed. Google and YouTube are your friends. Here's a sample for ya.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgB9J9Bt_Rs

Yeah, this is all you really need to do with any rifle that allows you to look down the bore. Should easily be on paper at 50 yds and you can go from there.

I didn't watch the YouTube video....but...at the range set your rifle up on a pack and sand bags or something stable. Pull the bolt out, look down the barrel at the center of the target at 50 yards, adjust your scope reticle so it is at the center of the target at 50 yards. You are now bore sighted and can get your first shot on paper and make adjustments from there so it's sighted in at 50 yards. If you then want 100 yrd zero, move the target to 100 and make the minor adjustments needed.

thanks for the help to everyone.
i did watch the video and it was exactly that.
I looked at an artice online regarding the 26 yard sight in method.
Basically i would be within the 6in vital zone from 0-310 yards.
Ill definately be doing it myself.
Thanks for the help guys lol!

I have sighted over 90 rifles this way and all were at 15 yards that's the distance from my vise to the wall of my house. Every rifle was on paper at 50 yards to only have to make 2-3 shot corrections. Well this one time it took 4 it happen to be an AR.
