Anyone use AccuScope??

This chart thing makes sense mathematically and stuff, wondering if you've used it and if it works!

Or you could spend that money on another box of ammo and do the simple math in your head. I mean it really is simple math, something an individual should be capable of knowing how to do. One should understand the reason why the adjustment needed at a certain distance is what it is, not just because some slide rule tells him. By understanding how one's scope operates and the basic math involved, one will be more effective in using that optic and thusly more effective with the firearm.

In the video he refers to 1/4MOA as 1/4"MOA. If you have the fancy paper target why do you need the calculator thingy? In real life it won't be as close as his shot. So one has to adjust a little more anyway most of the time. What does this thing do again?

yeah it does work. I didn't have to buy a boresighter and started at 25 yds. 4 shots at 25 yds. and then moved to 100 yards - 4 shots and I was done. Didn't burn up ammo sighting in. It is worth the money, didnt waste the $$$ on the ammo.

But you can still sight in with the same number of rounds without that little slide ruler. Its called understanding how your scope works.

Example: My Leupold has 1/4 MOA adjustments, if I was to shoot a three round group at a given distance, lets say 75 yards and the shots land 6 inches high and 3.25" to the right well its pretty easy to figure out with basic math. At 75 yards the 1/4 MOA adjustments will equal .1875" (technically it will be slight off in that MOA is actually 1.0471996" at 100 yards but close enough for our discussion) we get that number by multiplying .75 by .25, therefor we take the two distance measurements and divide them by the .1875 getting an adjustment of 32 clicks down and 17.333333 or just 17 clicks to the left. If you have to use a calculator thats fine, but we all already have one, whether its on your phone or laying around the house.

Or if you have a scope where the reticle matches the turrets then there is no math at all. Like my USO, MIL reticle and MIL turrets, but they could both be MOA and the end result would be the same. Again fire a group and it prints 6" high and 3.25" to the right, but here is where it is nice, lets say you are on a public range and the next cease fire isn't for awhile but you are able to see your impacts, it then doesn't matter what the distance is of how far they are from the X in terms of inches, you simply look thru the scope and lets say its 1/2 MIL high and just a hair over 1/4 MIL to the right (not sure what 6" at 75 yards would really be in MILs) then you make the adjustment, dial in .5 MIL down (5 clicks for a .10 MIL turret) and .2 or .3 to the left. Shoot your 4th round to confirm. This works at any range, 25 yards, 500 yards, a mile, off my 2 Mils (or MOA) dial in (or hold off) the same and fire away.

Simply put zeroing a rifle is so simple if you understand the basics and can perform basic math (I proudly admit using a calculator) that there really should be no need to purchase a slide rule to tell you what to do.

i think this was a great read imho

Let me see, waste money on a little cardboard thingy that has no real world use or waste money shooting ammo downrange. Gee I take wasting ammo everytime. Use the shot for trigger control exercise or refining your check weld and you haven't wasted anything. If your out in the sun with guns shooting it can't be a waste.

I imagine it performs some service, but I don't think I agree with their claim that you can sight-in in only 4 shots, if only for the reason that I want to shoot a group of 3 before and after making adjustments. (Maybe this is because my hunting rifles have pencil barrels and are only guaranteed to 1.5 MOA.)

I do agree with those who consider this unnecessary. Learn how to adjust your scope, and there shouldn't be any need for any other stuff.

And, while you're at it, remember that you may not want your scope zeroed in at the distance you're shooting. My hunting rifles are all about 3" high at 100 yards, for example.

After you fire the three group shot and fire your 4th shot sighted in youcan shoot to improve your trigger pull, I was sighted in four shots and I could have quit but i stayed and kept shooting bullseyes. More fun than shooting down range at nothing. For every expert that knows the math like most of the posters here there are 20 that don't know and dont shoot enough to care. I've been at the range to see it first hand. It was worth my money!

All this does is tell you how to adjust your scope/sights, which is something you should know how to do in the first place. If you're already on the paper, and you know what 1 moa is, and you know your distance to the target, it's not that hard. I could probably figure it out in my head faster than using this chart. It's not like the math for this is difficult.

If 1moa is roughly 1" at 100 yards, and your scope(or whatever) uses 1/4 moa clicks, then if you're 2 inches high, you know to adjust 8 clicks(4 clicks at 50y, 2 clicks at 25y). You don't need a slide ruler for this. I'm not even sure this qualifies as Jr High level math.
