We have all seen the youtube videos and countless written instructions by reputable people telling you to pick a spot on the wall, align the bore to it and adjust your scope to it. Please correct me if i am wrong, but i believe this approach is a disservice. The last time i tried this, i was a good 15 inches high at 100 yds. With the scope dialed in now, repeating the wall spot check, my crosshair is above the bore. My mostly forgotten trig tells me that dialing a scope that is 1-2 inches above the bore down to hit the bore line at 20 or thirty feet will create a dispersion of 1 to 2 FEET at 100 yards. Have i got this messed up or should they be telling folks to adjust the crosshair above the dot on the wall? Thanks, Bakerboy.
