sighting in a Burris FF III

[tomvet]

got a burris FFIII, and I'm having trouble sighting it in.  I used a laser bore sight to sight the scope in on my Mossberg 535 at 25 yards.  I took it out in the field and shot at a target at 10 yards, shot about 8 inches below the target. I thought that I had not sighted it correctly with the laser bore sight, so I adjusted the Burris.  Shot the next target at 20 yards, was 8 inches high.  Recalibrated, then shot the next target at 30 yards, was 8 inches high again.  I was under the impression that when you put the red dot on the target, I would hit the target no matter what the distance from 10 to 45 yards.  Wrong?  What's the best way to get this scope sighted in?  T

Since you can see through the window of the FFIII adjust the red dot on your guns front bead where it's lined up like if you were going to take a shot using your gun without the FFIII. This put me on the money since my guns bead sight was already accurate. Fine tune if needed at your mid range to compensate for trajectory.

Make sure you loosen both lock screws when making adjustment  not just one .....

Go to the link cash gave you.  I set mine at 12 yards and shoot out a 1" square with 2 3/4" shells, then move to 40 yards and shoot my turkey loads and adjust as necessary to put core of pattern over aimpoint (1" square on 36 x 36" paper)
