Thanks guys. This will be useful. I bought one of those gun holder/clamps that you can secure your gun in when sighting in or cleaning.

I've got one of those "gun vises"...best money I ever spent! Saves a ton of time and cartridges when sighting in.

1) Using sandbags (not the vise) to fire3 shots at center of target.
2) Use a marker and make a 1" Dot centered between the shots so you can see it well from the bench.
3) Put gun in vise and recenter point of aim to exact center of target.
4) Without touching anything but the turrets, move the cross hairs to the center of the 1" dot you drew.
5) Shoot from bags again to varify, and fine tune if needed. (i.e. sight in 1" high or whatever")
6) You're done.
