Asphault Cowboy..
with reticles like that in nikon preditor I cut out peices of paper the same size as the reticle at 100 yards at the proper setting for BDC, then put a smaller red or orange dot in the center as the desire zero POI, then adjust the scope until I'm satisfied.
Place five or six uniform targets like i discribe as close to the same cosign as possible, and see if you get the zero you want.
If you cant get the scope to do it, it may be defective.
A bipod and a sandbag will make a consistant hold much easier..

I've got a small bench and bags which I get a fairly steady rest with. Granted I would like it better if the bench were set in concrete,but,,
I had trouble with photobucket yesterday. My anti-virus brought up a warning page stating they detected a threat. Let me see if I can find a better image host. I can better illustrate my problem with images.

OK, went to image shak to host pics.
This is an example of what I'm getting with the Nikon.
What I did was zoom back enough to bracket the four red squares inside the 100 yard reticle circle.

For some reason I'm not maintaining a steady enough sight picture with it. I think it may stem from trying to controll such a large aim point.
Now this,,

is representitive of what the rifle is capable of. I shot those with the Weaver 2-10x38 V10 Classic mounted up.
A friend of mine believes he has one of the old Stoney Point turret caps that I can use for the elevation turret. With that I can run a few shots through the chrono and calculate bullet drop and then mark the cap for specific elevation changes.0
