How to zero your Aimpoint sight: Step by Step guide

Aimpoint sights are easy to zero

Caution: Place the firearm in a safe condition prior to handling or making any sight adjustments.

Aimpoint’s red dot sights are optically centered. That means that if the mount base is properly aligned with your firearm’s action, only minor adjustments should be necessary. It is easiest if you start the zeroing process from a short distance. We recommend 25 meters (25 yards) or less. This allows you to immediately see if further adjustments need to be made, which in turn can save you time and ammunition.

1. Set up target at close range (less than 25 meters).
2. Place firearm in solid rest and center dot on target. See image below

3. Take one shot and inspect the point of impact . See image below (the point of impact was too much to the right).

4. Replace firearm on solid rest with dot on target (A). See image below.

5. Without moving the firearm, turn adjustment screws until the red dot is centered over bullet’s point of impact (B).

6. Repeat as necessary until point of aim and point of impact are the same.
