Help . . .my memory seems to be fading. Just swapped out a Siimons 2-7X40 for a VX-II 3-9 X40 on my boys .260 and I can't remember one importnat thing. When I shoot and I find things are now off, do I adjust the scope cross hairs to the bullet hole or the Bullet holes to the cross hairs. If I am hitting left of my aim point do I adjust the scope right??
Sorry, but i figured some of you could use a good laugh.
Thanks,
IF your bullet is hitting to the LEFT of your aiming point, you turn the windage knob in the direction marked
"R" or
"RIGHT" the number of inches it is off of the mark, assuming you are sighting it at 100 yards, and that the adjustment knob is marked in 1-inch graduations. If you are doing your shooting at a closer distance, you will have to move the knob more graduations than if shooting at 100. (At 25 yards, 4X as many grads, if at 50, 2X as many, etc.)
