Recentering a scope reticle

I stumbled across this video the other day and found it very helpful.

I have never needed to re-center my scope, but that was cool!

Thanks for the post. That's a neat trick.

I've re-centered optics a few times when I bought them used.....by the counting clicks needed for full travel, then halving it method. I'll try to remember this if I ever need to do it again.

Never would have even thought to re-center a reticle. This is good to know... thanks for sharing!

Not sure if I understand the purpose since zeroing the scope will place the reticle different than center and end up where it has to be in alignment with POI.

Great advice. Thanks for letting us know.

This I fail to see the point, especially if you use a canted mount.

I have been doing my scopes that way for a while now but I use my bathroom mirror

Unfortunately, some people will see this and think this is what they have to do to sight in their rifle. They will do the mirror trick, then think they don't have to shoot it and head out to go hunting. Much like those folks that get a Cabela's "tech" to bore-sight their new rifle and think they are ready to hunt.

I would hope that people who sets there own rifles up know the deference?

Other than doing this just to make sure there are no serious issues with everything "lining up" well I really don't see a benefit to doing it.

Same here. But I usually lose count at least twice and have to start all over.
