What does EBR 4 mean?

EBR-4 (MOA) Tactical It is essentially a hashmarked ranging reticle where MRAD-based subtension lines are used for holdover, ranging, and windage corrections.

Why does my scope get blurry when I zoom in?

Your magnification in relation to the distance you’re trying to overcome can also be a cause for a blurry image. You can either adjust by lower the magnification or aiming at a more distant target. You might also have to compromise on image quality if your rifle scope is of compromised quality and has a poor build.

Is my rifle scope broken?

First check the mount screws and make sure the mount isn’t moving around. Still, if the first shot is always where it is supposed to be, but following shots are not, it is not the mount moving around, or a broken scope. It has to be the rifle.

Why won’t my rifle scope adjust?

IF your scope wont carry enough adjustment to zero, disassemble everything , mounts and rings and start over making sure the base you are using is the proper one for your rifle, tight and mounted centered on the receiver. IF you still cant get zero on the scope, you’ll need to shim the scope, to correct the difference.

Why is my rifle not grouping?

There are several causes. First is a ruptured scope. The way to test this is to put a different scope on your gun and see if it groups better. Second is loose bedding screws on the rifle.

What causes a scope to lose zero?

Scopes that lose zero over time are either broken or not properly installed. The most likely reason is loose screws in the mount. Reinstall using Loctite and torque wrench. The second possibility is overtightened screws.

What does hold zero mean?

this means that you were able to fire and group an acceptable amount of targets into center mass at that range. If an optic “holds zero” well, that means that it does not require frequent readjustment. Depending on optic quality and caliber of the rifle, some optics need re-zeroed more often than others.

What does it mean to zero your rifle?

Sighting in or zeroing a firearm is the goal of adjusting the sights so the projectile (e.g. bullet or shell) may be placed at a predictable impact position within the sight picture.

Does magnifying a scope change your zero?

Adjusting the magnification “should” have no effect on zero. Now your reticle will be effected depending on if it is FFP or SFP. FFP will adjust the reticle based on the magnification so that your hold over marks are correct for the magnification.

Why is my scope so far off?

If your reticule is so far off zero, it’s likely the scope is not mounted straight in the rings. You may have over tightened one or both mounting rings. As mentioned earlier, I’d suggest adding a Weaver base, then adding the scope rings to the base. Loosen and remove the top of of each ring.

How accurate is laser bore sighting?

First, they are a far more precise method than using your eye. While visually bore sighting a firearm may get you on paper at 100 yards, laser bore sighting will put you much closer to center and will require less ammo in the long run when zeroing the rifle.

Does scope height affect MOA?

The angle that is important regarding cant is the TOTAL angle or line of sight to the bore. You do increase a little this angle with higher scope height but it is not significant compared to the 30+ MOA you have to dial up at long ranges, where normal canting errors become significant.

Why are scope adjustments backwards?

To put it in simple terms. When you are zeroing your scope the reticle is moving(as we all know), but the direction indicated on scope turrets is for bullet impact. So if you are shooting low of your aiming point you would dial the elevation turret up, or counter clockwise on the scope mentioned in this thread.

Will moving a scope back change poi?

In theory moving the scope 1″ to the rear will raise the height from the center-line of the bore to the center-line of the scope by approximately 0.0003″ which will change your point of impact by approximately 0.

What power should you sight in a scope?

I sight in at the magnification I hunt with, usually 4x. After that, I shoot groups at all of the magnifications on the scope, or even one big group moving the magnification up or down as I shoot. This can give you sometime an idea of what magnification you shoot best at. My best usually comes at 4-6x.

How far back should you mount a scope?

Eye relief can vary from 2.75″ to almost 5″ depending on the manufacturer and individual scope. The eye relief can vary depending on the magnification, some scopes are a constant distance regardless of magnification, most get a little shorter as magnification goes up.
