Yesterday, I had some difficulty with my Ruger 10/22 rifle. I have a Bushnell scope on it, but it wasn't hitting where the cross hairs were aimed at.
Obviously, I have to adjust, or zero, the scope.
I found a website explaining how to do scope adjustments. It is from NRA Women.
It starts with:
Though most of us utilize a riflescope on our hunting or long-range precision rifles, few of us (myself included) truly grasp the real complexity of our optics. We know to turn this dial to do one thing and turn the other dial to do another thing, and that’s about it.
Truth is, that’s really enough for most of us. Studying optics gets you deep into the weeds very quickly, and most of us don’t need to know exactly how the image we’re seeing through our scope is produced. But knowing just a little bit about what’s going on inside that scope will help you better understand why and how your dials work the way they do.
First, a quick primer on what those dials (called turrets) do.

This post is for my future reference and for those who have to adjust their scopes.
