i just got my aimpoint PRO installed on my noveske. range trip yesterday i failed to get it to zero. what i was doing is when i hit paper i measure elevation and windage and adjust the aimpoint accordingly the aimpoints dot seems to stay the same/not moving atleast that what it looks like or em i just imagining this. so got home and removed the upper placed it on a vise went with old school boresight placed a dot about 25 feet away lined up the bore then lined up the iron sights to the point of impact got that done cool, but when i try to line up the RDS to the point of impact it doesnt got there am i missing something here? while looking at the RDS shoudnt it travel to the point of impact? please help.

You are over thinking it. You should be able to zero it in a mag or less. Dont think math or anything, just use the up down left and right on Your adjustment turrets to move around poi til You are on paper and zeroed. Do it at a closer distance and move out to 50 or 100, whichever You prefer. -
OK, I have one of these, and it zero'd well. First, I would recomment zeroing at 50 yards. Second, so you are saying that when you see the dot from your boresight, you are unable to get the Aimpoint objective dot to lay on top of the boresight dot? If you turn your windage and elevation knobs with a penny 2-3 turns, you should see that Aimpoint objective dot move, alot. What kind of boresight are you using?Comment

yes i cant get the aimpoint object to travel to POI / when you say to lay ontop is this in inches? yes i turned the W&E even more than 2 to 3 turns it looks like its not moving, im not using a boresight tool i simply drew a dot on paper placed it, looked in the bore till i can see it centered then looked tru the BUIS untill its centered alswell the bore and the BUIS are now looking at the same thing.Comment

Ya, your Aimpoint is fine... it's your method. Just rent a spoting scope at the range, and use 5-10 rounds fired from a very steady rest position. I have always used a laser boresight outside at my house, at night, when I get a new RDS, and that gets me within 2" or so when I try it out at the range.Last edited by missiontrails; 04-10-2011, 10:58 AM.Comment

should i worry cause i turned the hell out of the W&E dont even know now how to get back to close to factory setting for a fresh start. if so how can i get it back to factory zero...Comment

I'm sorry...I must be missing something here.
The OP is saying the Dot is not moving when he turns the adjustment knobs and you are telling him that is normal....
If Aimpoints W&E adjustments DONT move the dot...what do they adust..the BARREL???????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????
I think the optic is broke. If you can not turn the W&E knobs to move the optics dot over the image of a dot projected on the wall...the adjustment knobs are broken. POA = POI to zero any optic. If that can't happen the optic is broken.Comment

Diesel, the problem is he is looking through the sight and trying to adjust the dot according to a dot he drew onto a piece of paper 25 yards away, not a laser...... It could be moving, but he may not be seeing it.... not a precise enough method. However, i'm not there, and yes, it could be broken.............Comment

One of those $30 Sightmark laser boresights that looks like a 5.56 shell will allow you to see if its working or not. Shine the dot at night, and move your Aimpoint dot to where its laying on the Sightmark laser dot. The sightmark beams a 2MOA laser dot at 100 yards, and less at 50, so it should be easy to line up your 2MOA dot over that one. If you can't move your Aimpoint DOT to the Sightmark dot.... then yes, your Aimpoint needs to go back.Comment

I hope you didn't end up with a Chinese clone. I'd call Aimpoint and have them verify the serial number. Their page also has some information about determining if a RDS is authentic or not. Lastly, I'd send it in. That sight should last you a few decades.Comment

Click it alll the way one way til it stops now turn it in the opposite direction all the way til it stops while counting the clicks. Not turn it back half that number. Now try sighting it in shooting a target at 25. adjust poi left right up and down. Once You get it zeroed at the close distance move it out and zero at desired distance.Last edited by rattlesnake_nm; 04-10-2011, 11:44 AM.Comment

If you have BUIS and they're zeroed, use those to get close. Turn the turrets on the aimpoint until you can see the red dot through your BUIS. After that, just use some fine tuning to get it exactly what you want. I zeroed my PRO in about 20 rounds using this method.Comment
