RE: Quick Site In
The fastest way I have used is to have a STABLE rest. Shoot one shot at 100 yards. Position the rifle back in the cradle with the crosshairs on your aiming point. Turn the scope adjustment knobs while you are looking through the scope. Turn the knobs until the crosshairs come to rest on the bullet hole. If you haven't inadvertently moved the rifle, you next shot will be right at the point of aim.

Dan in Alaska,
Ok now where do you want the bullet to hit @ 100 yards, So that if you have a shot at 65 yards? or closer? Iam just trying to get my scope on my ML sighted in for something 100 yards or less. Should i start at 25 yards and be maybe 1/4" high? and the that should be dead on at 100 yards? Iam really needing a starting point.

I start at about 25 yards, get it about 1/4" high and move to 100 and adjust if necessary. It helps if you have a bench or other stable shooting platform.

DoubleHH,
Like the others have stated. If you start sighting at 25 yards, you want your shots hitting low, and then you should be fairly close to your point of aim at 100 yards.
I'm not a muzzleloader shooter. I know they have a much slower velocity than a centerfire rifle, but I'd be surprized if a ML trajectory was so poor that a ML sighted at 100 yards would cause a miss at a closer range. Let your own range results be your guide. Sight in at 100 yards, and try it at closer ranges to verify.
Good luck hunting!
