Rifle Scopes Scope zeroing How many mil's

[joemusso]

I have a question for all you guys.
How many mil's did it take you guys to zero your rifle? (from factory settings)
Anyone here with the same or close specs?
Here is my info

.338LM
30MOA rail
ZC527 MPCT2
0 MOA mount.
100 yards

What exactly are you asking? How many mils off the factory setting for elevation and windage to get a zero?

 

[joemusso]

yes sorry from factory zero.

With a 45 moa rail on a scope with 32 mils total I have 7 down and 25 up.
When I had a 30 moa rail I think I had 21.3 up.

Well the scope isn't zeroed from the factory. It might be at it's optical center but it might not. You have a 30 MOA base so that is about 8.7 mils so if you dialed down 8.7 mils you should be close assuming the scope was in it's center.

Easy way is to shoot a round at 25 yards, measure with the reticle your correction to about 1" below your point of aim and then dial it on and go to 100. You will be close.

The scope isn't set to a certain point from the factory, as Rob said. Just zero it and measure to both ends of the travel from there.
