Default Returning a scope to factory defaults??

Is there an excepted method of returning the windage and elevation adjustments on a scope back to the way it came from the factory?

I have an older but nice 2x7 Leopold VXll that has been on a lot of guns over the years and would like to start out fresh so to speak prior to mounting on a new gun. Any suggestions?

Does simply counting the "clicks" and setting at the halfway point accomplish that?

Turn it all the way (one way) then turn it the opposite way all the way back while counting the clicks. Then go back half way. That will get you back to the center of the adjustment range. Some high end scopes (S&B for example) have dials that just allow for centering but your Leupy doesn't.
