Some years back I read about a way to center a reticle that seems much easier and more accurate than turning the dial lock to lock, counting clicks and going halfway back.

I go into a well lit bathroom turn and put the objective squarely on the surface of the mirror (turn to high power if adjustable and remove any caps or covers).

While holding it on the mirror look through the ocular end and if the reticle is not perfectly centered you will see two reticles (you may have to adjust your view to have them both appear). You simply turn the elevation & windage adjustments until the reticles are aligned and it's centered.

I'm not an optical engineer so can you give me a simple explanation how this works?


thanks,

Rob
