Zeroing Scope

Just looking for some advice on zeroing in a new scope i.e what distance it should be done at etc havent done it before, http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=15165 thats the scope anyways and I have it on VSR-10 G-Spec

I'm unsure about the distance, but one of the best ways to zero a scope is to hold it with a vice so that it can't move (without damaging it OFC) then fire a few rounds into a paper target, then adjust the scope to the center of the group of bbs.

and make sure the hopup is set as straight as possible before ya do it, otherwise it'll be way off when yor ajusting the scope.,

Dere are no iron sights on the rifle though so jus look for swerving of the bb's den yea?? and when you say clamp the scope presumably its mounted on the gun!?

No clamp the gun with the scope mounted.
Fire off a few bbs.
adjust the crosshair to the center of the group.

Swerving doesn't make to much of a difference as long as all the bbs go the same way.

when i had a rifle years ago i just picked the range I was more often than not shooting at, 25m targets, and zeroed it for that. Just needed to aim higher or lower if the target was closer/further away ... not that it will make much difference unless you're shooting over a broad range.

I think.

Ah rite wel I dont have a clamp so that stuffs that plan!!

a work mate? a table and a load of cr*p keeping the gun steady?
you dont really need to go through all that with an airsoft gun though, just use a card board box and get some distance between ya. ,fire at a mark on it using the scope and see where it hits, if its too high just turn the scope down a litle and try again.,
