Now to zero the rifle in! We are going to Zero the
rifle in at the combat zero of 25 meters. Once the
rifle is zeroed in, it should be zeroed in at all
other ranges. First set up a target at 25 meters,
preferably one with a center point of aim. Adjust
the rear leaf sight to the setting of 1 (Remember,
a setting of 1 is 100 meters). Take your time and
aim carefully, shoot three shots at the point of
aim. Retrieve the target a take note of where the
shots are hitting. Adjust the sights appropriately
to compensate until your shots hit the point of
aim. For example if all your shots are hitting like
the below drawing you would move the drift cylinder
using either the tool from Tapco, or the rubber
mallet and wooden dowel, slightly to the right,
this would move the point of impact (where the shots
are hitting) of the next set of shots to the left,
then you would rotate the front sight peg counter-clockwise
slightly to lower the point of impact of the next
shots. |

Continue
to shoot 3 shot groups and adjusting until you have
a tight 3-shoot group as pictured below at the point
of aim. Once the rifle is zeroed in you should only
have to make slight adjustments for the wind if
necessary. |

And thats it, your rifle is now zeroed in!
