How 2 sight a crosman 4x15 scope 5 inches left? - Answers

This information is the same for any scope. 1. Rest the rifle on a sand bag or other permanent stand. 2. Sight the scope on your target at about 30 to 50 or more feet, the normal distance you plan to shoot. 3. Fire a test shot. Look through the scope and look where you were sighting verses where the pellet struck. DON'T MOVE THE RIFLE keep it sighted on the target. 4. Remove the scope caps on the scope adjustments knobs. Adjust the scope knob (on the right side) left. where as the cross-hairs are now aligned on the pellet hole. Now the scope is pointed at the new location. 5. realign the scope back on the target by moving the rifle. Now reload the rifle and fire another test shot. You should be closer or right on target. Follow the same procedure until you are on target. Remember you will never be on target with every shot. Cross-wind will always have an effect on the pellets path. If you are trying to do this with BB's, be advised BB's never fly as straight as pellets and the further the target is from the barrel he wider the BB pattern will be. Theoretically, now that you have the scope sighted. for a particular distance, say 50 feet. remember that anytime you shoot at something closer than 25 feet your shot will be slightly below the target cross-hairs and anything further than 75 feet the shot will be slightly above the target cross-hairs.
