Mate, seriously... Turn off caps lock...
Just adjust the elevation(screw on the side) until it is level with the bb.

+1 on turning off the caps lock, it just makes you look obnoxious!

Anyway to zero the scope you'll want to place to rifle on a steady surface, preferably clamped in a firing position, aimed at a target. Shoot and then adjust your scope based on which direction the bb went off in.

Kinda hard to explain online, simple to do though

sorry about the caps,was trying to zero once,but i do not have a steady clamp for the rifle,and a steady target,so is there anyone can do it,i would like to pay for it!!i doubt about the scope problem,cause it doesn't matter how i adjust it,it always shoot lower.anyway someone???

Thanks leftyflip,i will try the screw

Have you tried adjusting the hop up first? Zero'ing an airsoft scope doesn't need a bench/clamp but you will need a target obviously

I always found the easiest way was with a laser sight, I have an outside adjustable one mounted on the ris.
Fire the bb, adjust the laser to the impact point (a lot easier than adjusting the scope) the leave the laser on and slave the scope to that.

It makes a far more visable ref point. A poor mans version would be to get a laser pointer if you have one laying about and electrical tape, fire, mark the spot with the laser making sure you secure the laser once its on target then slave the crosshairs to that.

Assuming you''ve simply not set up the rifle & scope, unfortunately nobody else can set it up for you since each rifle is personal to its user. Your fit, your comfort, your eye level, etc. You'll need to use something as a steady target; even if it's a small mark on a wall it'll do

As for zeroing your scope; have a read of this: clicky, specifically the part on zeroing the scope under the heading of "The Idiot’s guide to setting up a sniper rifle". The discussion thread is here, although the user is no longer posting the rest of the articles on boards.ie

TBH, you're over-complicating a simple issue by adding more crap into the mix hightower. With your suggestion, you're not fixing the accuracy of the rifle, you're compensating for its not being calibrated by using the laser to offset for you.

You're overlooking Minute of Angle (MOA). The laser is at a different angle to that of the barrel & scope, and in a different location. Again, see the bit about compensating, not fixing accuracy.

You're also overlooking the fact that you have to attach the laser in the same spot, in the same way every single time. Can you guaruantee that if you don't have rail space (which most sniper rifles don't exactly have as it happens). Tape it to the barrel? Pffffft ... reliable accuracy indeed ...

TBH, it's just easier and more reliable to actually go and zero your scope.

In relation to "affixing" the laser for the poor mans fix I was speaking of calibration purposes only and not actually leaving the laser on. I didnt think anyone would actully think I was saying to tape a laser to a barrel for good?????


About the min of angle, why is this an issue? Your assuming the bb's flight path needs to be the same as the lasers???? the impact point is the issue not the flight path. The function of the laser in my fix is stricly to highlight the impact point .... not the flight path. Instead of shooting the rifle then trying to slave the scope to a difficult to see impact (possibly disturbing the gun position in the process) you are focusing on an easy to see constantly illuminated point allowing him to focus entirely on zeroing the scope.


Of coarse its not going to solve accuracy of the dipping flighth path of the bb but thats not his concern here. The issue is the scope isnt on target with the bb. If the later is the issue my solution will solve that or at least alow an easier way to calibrate this.

Over complicated? point laser to impact, slave crosshairs to this? Whats complicated about that? If he is ok with the bb's impact point then why not suggest it?

Let me put it this way to you.

Scenario one:

Is the BB inside the scope circle? No? Then you've got a poorly set up scope and/or mount. Shim the scope until it [the BB] is. Then you zero with the scope.

No laser needed.

Scenario two:

You are using a laser to mark the BB strike, but failing to take into account that the BB strike might be down to a poor rifle set-up, thus no amount of scope adjustment at that point will help since you are compensating for failed aim, not adjusting.

Laser = more work for little gain. Perhaps mixed in with scenario one.
