What is the best distance to zero in this scope for? Thanks

If you can actually get it to hold zero for more than 5 shots, start at 10 yards and work your way out from there. If you're mounting it on a decent rifle it should be effective out to 50 yards depending on the type of pellets and wind conditions.

Have it mounted on a Gamo hornet .177 and have it zeroed at 30 yards and shooting 10.5 grain crossman premier domes. Is good to about 45 yards then starts dropping off. Being it's a mill dot scope at 75 yards I hold over 3 dots and am spot on. Hope this helps as I have been very happy with scope.

Difficult question without knowing more. Best for one is not always best for another. Your personal zero should depend on variables like target value, engagement distances, intended use, (sporting, recreational, pest control, etc.) projectile weight and velocity should be considered.

best distance to Zero a hammer scope is as far away as you can throw it!!! If you plan on using it on a spring piston gun then you better spend a little more and get a scope that will hold a zero.

If moved to another spot you would have to re-zero. If put in the same spot after removal you should be within one MOA of your original zero.

Don't use it much anymore. When I did, I tested it and found it doesn't make much diff. The thing is, it's field of view widens as it gets further away. So if you measure something that is very small from a longer distance, you'll get a bad reading. When I used it, I was measuring small packages 5x8 inches from a very close distance like 1-2 ft. Sorry I can't be more help.

Yes, Allen wrench slots allow for precise zeroing. I have it mounted on my FN Five-seveN and it's bright and accurate out to around ten yards.

Using the Laserlyte to boresight should get you close enough depending on what range you want it zeroed for.

It totally depends on you starting point. This scope has three lines so as an example, start at 10 yards you would have 10,20,30 or 20,30,40. Its a very good scope.

I've never used that system but have been perfectly happy with mine. Zero has been consistent. I've never shot targets over 100 meters as these sites are for close quarters mainly. They are a back up for my reflex site and in low light conditions. The hardest part was zeroing them and making adjustments. being the sites are at 45 degrees you cant use straight traditional movements to adjust for shot placement. the way i got around this was buy taping the target on at a 45 degree angle to match the sites. I really like the sight over all and its a great backup for your scope or reflex sight. Hope this helps... I've never used that system but have been perfectly happy with mine.

This item will return to a reasonable previous zero. Meaning a return to within 1/2 t 3/4, of an inch to previous zero. Which is quite good considering the prices being asked for this,in comparison to the prices for a larue or an GG&G; or one of the other high price mounts. Hope this is helpful.

Pending on were place the scope on the mount i dont see it being a problem. As long as everything is nice and tight it should return to zero with ease. Happy shooting

If the scope you are using now is losing its zero due to vibration, I would expect better results from this Nikon scope. However, David brings up a very important point about break-barrel air rifles. It is inherent in their design that the scope is likely to lose alignment with barrel during regular use and require frequent zeroing.

If you go to Nikon's website, they will be able to tell you how to adjust your zero based on the yardage, the rifle, and the specific ammunition you are using. The website is great. http://spoton.nikonsportoptics.com/spoton/spoton.html

Yes zero at center say 50yds.then shoot remaining reticles each at 100yds. adjust as needed.

I believe the minimum focal length was around 35 feet. This was a pretty good scope for the price. However, the front lens is held in be a really flimsy plastic retainer. Mine broke after about a year. I'd suggest a Bushnell sentry scope, more pricey, but they have a bullet proof warranty.

This is not a 'scope' as it has no targeting apparatus. It is merely a magnification device. As such, there is no way to 'zero' it because there is no need to 'zero' it. If your other optics are zeroed, this will not effect them. So, my answer is no.

I don't have this model. So I honestly couldn't give an accurate answer. I have the TLR-1 HL. Which is just a light so no need for a zero.

This device will bore sight a scope so you can hit the target at 50 yds. Typically, It gets me within 10 inches of point of aim first shot. It optimally works for a center of bore to center of the objective lens distance of 1 1/2 inches. Long distance sighting is up to the shooter after you align the scope by firing and adjusting the point of aim to zero it at whatever range you wish to use as your zero. The grid has nothing to do with trajectory, it just helps boresight the scope right after it is mounted.

I am really pleased with this scope. It holds zero. I use the scope on a AR 10 as well as a AR 15. Both scope are great deal for what you pay. I plan on buying more for future rifles.
