I have a super noob question...

[brucega7x]

Kind of embarrassed, but I don't want to screw anything up. I just got my Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25. I've never owned a scope with turrets before. Only basic scopes you simply adjust your elevation and windage and off you go.

My question is: To zero...I make my adjustments using the turrets themselves? (In other words, no cap you unscrew with access to the adjustments.)

Assuming that I'm correct with my first assumption: I then take the turret caps off and set them both to the zero hash so any adjustments made from there are all from zero?

Sorry for something that most people probably understood I already. I just don't want to mess something up. lol

Not a dumb question at all as some Vortex models you do remove the turret to adjust zero.

The way you described it is correct for your model.

Thanks!

I did see that in the manual, but they weren't very clear in saying that that's also how you initially zero.

I like to recommend Ryan for basics. He explains things well IMO. He’s got a lot of tutorials if you want to learn. Look up one on setting up your scope properly. This is a wind reading one I found quickly.

The only stupid question is the one that isn’t asked.

Or the one that's answered when you say, "Oops."

Also be aware that all scopes do things just a bit different. And it only takes 30576 times to remember that the "up/down" "Left/Right" refer to the point of impact. Ask me how I know
