    I have found this works well:

    Allowing for the amount the scope is above the bore line you want it to shoot about one inch low at 25 yards to get you close at 100.

    Re: Sighting in my .270win

    I bought a remington model 710 in 7mm a couple of years ago.... Mine was a decent shooter with 1" groups or better at 100 yrds. I had to get a better scope though, the one that came with it wouldn't hold its zero. One day its dead on the next its off a mile, figuratively speaking of course! But I have shot 3 moose with it all with one ashot kills to the neck. I hope you enjoy your new firearm!

    Alright, Ill keep that in mind for next time guntech.

    Accuracy-freak; If thats the case for my rifle, I have a .22 scope (same power) sitting in my closet. I just want the thing it be sighted in.

    I'll bet most animals that are shot could not even tell if they were hit with Remington Model 710 or a fancy super-sub-MOA custom rifle!!
    ...shoot straight and shoot high.......

    Just curious as to what SUB-MOA stands for?

    MOA = minute of angle

    basically means 1" groups at 100 yards

    2" groups at 200 yards

    5" groups at 500 yards

    etc

    etc

    Well as of right now my rifle is shooting 8 inches to the right. So I dont think I will be hitting anything being off 8 inches.

    Gotta hit it first...

    And if your bolt falls out or seizes when you are attempting to chamber a round, or if your gun won't chamber your factory ammo, then it get's difficult.
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    Do not use the .22 Scope at all it will not take the recoil of you'r rifle ... For around a $150 bux look into the Bushnell Dusk to Dawn series there a awesome scope for the money , since is x-mas soon also the Elite series are worth checking out ... Just Boar site like i told you at 25yrds , line it up a few Inches High and then try at 100yrds do the adjustments and make her about 2" high so then 250yrds will be easy!!! Good luck.
