The fastest, easiest way to sight in a scope is to start at a distance of ten feet. At this distance, the image of the bull’s-eye will be blurry in the eyepiece of your scope. After you make sure you have a safe backstop and you put on your safety glasses, shoot one shot with the crosshairs centered on the bull’s-eye.
Take note of where the shot hit. You want it centered between the left and right edges of the target below the bull’s-eye. If it is not, remove the cap (if there is one) over the right-hand knob on the scope, and adjust the windage wheel (or knob). If the shot is to the left of center, turn the windage wheel counterclockwise. This will move the shot to the right. If the shot is to the right of center, adjust the windage wheel clockwise. This will move the shot to the left.
At ten feet, you also want your shot to strike below the bull’s-eye — approximately the same distance below the center of the target as it is from the center of your rifle barrel to the center of your scope. (You can estimate this distance, but it will typically be 1.5-3 inches.) So, if it is roughly two inches from the center of your scope to the center of your rifle barrel, you will want your shot at ten feet to hit the target about two inches below the bull’s-eye.
If necessary, remove the cap on the elevation wheel (on top of the scope) and lower the shot by turning the wheel clockwise or raise the shot by turning the wheel counterclockwise. Then fire additional shots to make sure your pellets are hitting the target where they should.
Next, move back to ten yards, and fire one more shot. Your pellet should strike the target a little higher (but still below the bull’s-eye) and should remain centered left to right. Now you can fire additional shots and adjust the elevation so your shots strike the center of the target. If need be, you can also fine-tune the windage adjustment.
That’s all there is to it – your scope is now sighted in for ten yards. Note well: if you shoot at another target that is closer than ten yards or farther away, the point of impact will be higher or lower than the crosshairs. Practice will show you how much to compensate for these differences in elevation. (In addition, if your air rifle is a multi-pump pneumatic, make sure that you always give it the same number of pumps each time. Otherwise, the point of impact will change.) Finally, if you habitually shoot at a different distance than your original sight-in distance, you may want to adjust the elevation knob so your scope is zeroed at the distance you shoot most often.
