How to Zero a Riflescope in 3 Shots or Less

[Founder]

Can you guys zero in with 3 shots or less? I'm not so sure I could do it.

I boresight it at 25 yards first. I can get it close at 100 yards with 3 or 4. If you're zeroing for 200, it may take a couple of more. Depends on loads as well. Quality ammo and/reloads are important.

It can be done in two shots, given a good rest. Center the bull, squeeze off a shot. Center the bull again and then adjust the crosshairs to center the bullet hole from the first shot. Center the bull and shoot again. It should be centered up.
Note, I don't do it this way, but I might try it just to see how it works. I usually just shoot 3 shot groups and adjust between them.
