How to mount, level, torque, bore sight, zero, dial and maintain an optic, written for somebody with the rifle on the bench who wants to get it right the first time.
Every page is researched from manufacturer specifications, published optical and ballistic formulas, and the consensus of verified owner reviews, not hands-on testing. Sourced figures and shooter convention are labelled separately wherever both appear. Every table on this site is plain HTML you can quote, and every calculator shows its formula on the page.
