evening all

just put a 8x56 S&B onto my new CZ223 and trying to Zero. Quite dissapointed in the scope instruction booklet how much does 1 click of the dial adjust my fire?? still 9" to the left and dont want to waste tons of bullets. my target is 120yds.

as always.... any help would be good thanks

Tone,

 

It might be a good idea to check that the scope is OK - even expensive ones slip through the quality net.

 

Scopes are designed to line up "somewhere" about the middle of their range of adjustment.

 

Only a suggestion, note your starting point and count the number of turns the left/right knob takes from end to end. If your existing 9" left point of impact is not roughly in line with where the count of turns puts it, then maybe you have a scope problem, or a mounting issue.

 

I would like to suggest that you boresight the scope before shooting too many more rounds.

Set the rifle up in some kind of rest (bricks, wooden blocks etc) so it won't move, remove the bolt then line the bore up on a good clear mark a long way off.

Now set the vertical scope line to bisect the aiming mark but, once again, if your scope adjuster is turned very far from the "middle" of its turns, then maybe there is another problem.

 

Incidentally, the adjustment value on the 8x56 is usually .36" per click at 100m.

 

Good luck!

1 click is an 1/8 inch at 100 yards........if you dont want to waste amo bring your target into 40 yards....zero it at that....

From the S&B website : http://www.schmidtbender.com/specs8x56.htm

 

 

Click value .360"

take the bolt out the back of the rifle look though the bore and then the scope if both are on the target board then that is a start. i done it this way at 100 yards with hmr and i got it on the board 1st shoot then after 6 more i was smack on.

 

if you find it hard then try it closer 1st then go back to the range you want it at

have a look on the net to you mite see how many clicks it is on s&b website

1 click equals 9.1 milimetres at 100 metre or .360" good kuck

Yup .........bring your target up close to start with at the 40 yds mentioned above. At one click equalling .360 inch. Your 9 inches left at 120 yards will need about 10 clicks to the right to put it on target with the bullet straight now but a little high.

check your mounts/rings and adjust them first to save the windage adjustment in your scope.

[Guest remmy]

put your target @ 50 yds if its still shooting shite take it back mate.

[dwighet 1]

my advise.Take it or leave it....let someone with some exprience have a crack at it before you send it back.. Im not saying its you.. Im just speaking from experience.... I myself wasted alot of ammo and time trying to sort a scope out until i asked a mate who has been shooting since noah was a boy to help and explain.... got it sorted in abot 10 rnds.....

 

s&b are good..very good..

 

Just my 2p worth..

Good luck

Hello get someone with experiance to help you.I bore scope mine for a start when putting on an optic & start at 50m.If you look at your turret it should tell you on it how much it moves per 100yrds & there is no need to set target way out at 120yrd/m.I set mine at 80/90m as so i can see the 1" target & have it just grouping the top of 1" target ie on the line.You must stuggle to see the target at 120yrd & i have an old S&B 2.5x10x56 which is a moonlight/stalking scope & the cross-hairs block the target for me 100m but aint complaning as its taken some stuff for me over the years but i would like to up grade to a PM11.

evening. cheers for all the help.

did the bore sighting thing at 50yds. then fired a couple of shots and i was just about 3" left and perfect height. turnd a few clicks then fired 5 shots and they were all inside the bull(3"circle). It was starting to get dark so tommorow i will take my target to 100yds and see what happens. how low will i be?

ps. im using federal 55gr

all the best

Try 70m etc then out to 100m & i think you will find it high might be quite a bit 6" or so or 2" but it can varie.
