50 bucks of ammo?
Lemme help. Put the gun on the bags. Pull the BCG. Put it between the lower and upper, hinged open slightly.
Look down the bore, and keep centering bore and optic. Check and recheck. Tweek it by making sure your eye is centering the bore very well and check xhairs...
When happy, fire ONE shot. A helper helps but not needed for next step..
Put complete gun on bags, put crosshairs firmly on the aiming point and hold htere firmly so gun can't move. Assuming you have scope caps off, have assitant start turning knobs, they don't even need to know which way, just start moving slowly, if wrong way just tell em to reverse. Move either elev or wind to the plane the hole is on, and then finish with the other. Never moving the gun obviously.
Your next shot will be very close, depending on how well the gun shoots.
Blue simply got lucky that both recievers were the same basically perfectly machined and bored, and the same with both barrels being set up either perfectly or exaclty the same. It happens.
But as many uppers that I had to put my test scope on, I just wrote down the target knob zeros in a book, swap uppers and dial it back to whatever it was supposed to be.
sarcasm goes over your head doesn't it?
