Alignging scope reticle on this nightforce 2.5x10.
I have a tool pictured below.
But what if one doesn’t have this tool, then what?
The picatinny rail slots allow a section of 17 caliber cleaning brass rod to fit well, loose but will balance nicely as it is moved from side to side.
I actually used this section of rod and a plumb bob at 50 yards scope at 10x and a level on top of elevation knob.
Aligned the scope this way by looking at clearance under the parallax knob and windage knob by stepping back some 10-12 feet.
Got each side clearance wise the same just by eyeballing.
Scope cross hair (vertical one) aligned with plumb bob string.
After aligning this way tightened scope screws a bit and checked with my device made of aluminum pictured. Seems to be dead nuts on.
