Quick Answer
To adjust your scope for a 6.5-284 Norma, start with the factory-set zero at 100 yards and adjust the elevation turret accordingly. Aim for a 1-2 MOA (minute of angle) adjustment at a time, making sure to check your shots at 200 yards. Repeating this process will help you zero in on your target.
Setting Your Initial Zero
When setting your initial zero, begin at 100 yards and make adjustments using the elevation turret. The 6.5-284 Norma is a flat-shooting cartridge, so you’ll want to aim for a 1-2 MOA (minute of angle) adjustment at a time. This will help you avoid over- or under-shooting your target.
Checking Your Shots at 200 Yards
Once you’ve set your initial zero at 100 yards, move on to 200 yards and check your shots. Aim for a 2-3 MOA (minute of angle) adjustment based on your previous shot’s impact. Make adjustments accordingly and continue checking your shots at 200 yards. This will help you fine-tune your zero and achieve accurate shots at longer ranges.
Refining Your Zero at 300 Yards
For a 6.5-284 Norma, it’s essential to refine your zero at 300 yards. This will help you achieve accurate shots at longer ranges and account for any wind drift or ballistic shift. Make adjustments in 1-2 MOA increments, checking your shots at 300 yards after each adjustment. This will help you achieve a precise zero and maximize your rifle’s potential.
