NEW GUY SIGHTING IN A SCOPE
#1
HELLO EVERYONE!I AM A NEW GUY SIGHTING IN A SCOPE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. I HAVE A NIKON SLUGHUNTER SCOPE ON A REMINGTON 870. I HAVE NEVER SIGHTED IN A SCOPE BEFORE OR EVEN HAD A SCOPE BEFORE! DOES IT MATTER WHAT MAGNIFICATION I HAVE THE SCOPE IN WHEN I SIGHT IT IN AND WILL THE COMPENSATION OR HOLD OFF BE THE SAME WITH ANY MAGNIFICATION. IN OTHER WORDS, WILL I USE THE SAME CROSSHAIRS OR DOTS FOR ANY MAGNIFICATION OR POWER? ANY HELP WILLBE APPRECIATED! THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING THE NEW GUY WITH HIS NEW TOYS!!!!!!
THANKS,
RICH

Suggest you sight it in at ythe "power' you expect to most often use. As a test, you can recheck afterwards at the extremes. For example, for a 2.5-8 variable, you decide to sight in at4X. I'd check it at 2.5 and 8 to confirm that the POI (point of impact) does not change. On quality scopes it will notvary appreciably if at all.

Congrats on a decent setup. I would reccomend to sight in at whatever power you're most comfortable with,then recheck at the different magnafications after you get it sighted in.
