Did you set your eye relief up? Easy mistake to do and if your looking through your scope, have any shading, your shot will be off.

A riflescope can be an intimidating piece of gear. A lot of people have it mounted at the local gun shop then never touch it again. But if you familiarize yourself with a couple of key techniques, adjusting your riflescope and even moving it between rifles can be quick and painless. As always, before you adjust anything, make sure your rifle is completely unloaded and that the environment is made safe before proceeding.
We recommend using a universal barrel leveling system. This is done before mounting the scope or installing the rings. Make sure the rifle is on a solid, secure surface and use a rear bag or rest to prop up the buttstock end of the rifle to get is as level as possible.
When adjusting your riflescope to work best for you, there are three main aspects to consider; getting the right eye relief, making sure the scope is level, and lastly, fine-tuning the scope's eyepiece focus. Let's take a closer look at these important factors.
EYE RELIEF
Knowing how to set up your scope for your body is critical to getting the best performance out of your optic. And since everyone’s built differently with different proportions, it’ll take some work to get it just right. One of the first things to consider is eye relief.
Eye relief is the point between the eyepiece lens and your eye where a full image can be observed. This point is different for every scope, so you’ll have to look up your model’s specs to know where it should sit on the rifle in relation to your eye. Also, note that eye relief slightly changes depending on what magnification you’re on. To get the best eye relief at any magnification, split the difference between the high and low eye relief numbers found on the specs sheet.
HOW TO SET YOUR EYE RELIEF
1. PLACE THE SCOPE in the rings and put the ring tops on, but not tightly. Make sure the scope can still move around. The scope on should be on its highest power which provides the smallest exit pupil size. This is critical because you want to make sure your alignment is perfect with the lowest exit pupil.
2. MOUNT THE RIFLE as if you were going to shoot – ideally, this is done on a table or stable platform. When looking through the scope, you want to be able to see a large image that fills the eyepiece. If you’re too close or too far away, you’ll get a lot of black around the image, which is called a vignette.
3. SHOULDER THE RIFLE WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED.Get in a comfortable shooting position that you’ll be able to duplicate every time you take aim. Once you feel comfortable, open your eyes to see where the eye relief is. You want to tailor the scope to your natural point of aim, not the other way around.
4. REPEAT THE PREVIOUS STEP until the scope is exactly where it needs to be. Remember, if done correctly, the image will completely fill the eyepiece – there shouldn’t be any black edges around your sight picture. Once your eye relief is set, make a mark with a pencil on the maintube where the rear ring meets it. This way, you'll know if the scope moves during the leveling process.
