The Hyskore 30022 Parallax Cleaning and Sighting Vise

How to sight in a rifle in 3 shots? Use the Hyskore 30022 Parallax Cleaning & Sighting Vise

The Hyskore 30022 Parallax Cleaning and Sighting Vise is an indispensable accessory for the serious shooter. First, you can sight in in three to five shots. Second, it doubles as a cleaning vise. The way it works is that you can move the various sections back and forth along the sliding rails so that you can adjust to any length gun. If you tighten it up, you can even use it for some pistols. In order to sight in, you need to be able to fire a good three or five shot group. Our recommendation is to rearrange the components so you have a stable base to fire your group from. The first thing to do is fire a three or a five shot group because you really need a tight grouping for reference. We made a cross type target for the simple reason that using this type of target is much easier to reference the alignment of the crosshairs. It’s important to mark the center of the group. We supply high visibility markers that you put right over so the strength of the group is right in the middle of it.

 

The next thing you want to do is put the rest in the same approximate position as when you fired your shots. Then you want to adjust the various sections so that the gun is firmly cradled in the rest. Make sure that the pedestal comes all the way up so that the forend is resting solidly on it. Make sure the forend is tight and solidly in the V notch and make sure that the rest is in good position. Tighten the screws on the vise. Now that the stock of the gun is snugly anchored in the vise, don’t make it too tight, just so it doesn’t move. Now you want to fasten the Velcro strap around the front, tighten it down good and tight, looping it back on itself. Now the gun is solidly anchored.

 

At this point we need to reference our original point of aim. To do that, unload your gun. You don’t want to touch the adjustments on the scope at this point. Move the vise left and right for windage, and use the elevation adjustments at the four corners of the vise to set up elevation, to move the reticle, the cross hair of the scope, to exactly the point where we fired original shots. For the final step, align the point of impact and the point of aim. In other words that will get you sighted in. Take the scope caps off, get behind your gun, and do not touch rest. The vice must remain right where it is, with the center of the reticle on your original point of aim. If you’re using a cross target, that’s the center of the cross, and if you’re using a bull’s eye target, that’s the center of the bull’s eye. Look through your sight, and by turning your adjustment knobs, walk the reticle onto the center of the point of impact, which is the group that you fired and marked with the orange dot. At that point, you are sighted in.
