The Scope Setup & Zero Planner
Mount the scope right the first time, zero it once instead of three times, and keep a record so the next range trip starts from your own numbers instead of a guess: ring torque from the manufacturer, a zeroing log that uses this site's own click-value logic, a dope card template you fill from your own data, and a buying decision sheet by use and budget.
- 9 fill-in worksheets, 25 print pages
- 2 filled-in examples to copy the format from
- Companion Excel / Google Sheets tracker with a click-adjustment calculator
- Online buyer guide with current prices, by use and budget tier
Replaces the sticky note with the ring torque figure on it that always goes missing, the zero you have re-done twice because nothing was written down, and the dope card copied from someone else's rifle.
30-day money-back guarantee. Use it all; if it doesn't help, every dollar back.

Who it's for
- Anyone mounting a scope who wants the torque figures and witness marks logged, not remembered
- Anyone who wants clicks calculated correctly at the distance they actually shot, not guessed from "4 clicks per inch"
- Anyone starting a dope card who wants a clean template rather than someone else's numbers
- A rifle more than one person shoots, where the setup and the zero need to be written down somewhere everyone can check
- Anyone choosing between a hunting, target or budget-tier optic who wants a real decision process
Who made this
Built by the RifleScopeCalc team from the same MOA/mil, click-adjustment and ring-height formulas the free site's calculators run on, laid out as a workbook to fill in rather than a page to read.

Questions
Does this replace the free site?
No. The free site has the calculators, reviews and buying guides; the kit is where your own rifle's numbers get written down, dated and reused, plus the budget tracker and reusable logs the free pages do not carry.
Does this give me ballistic data for my rifle?
No. The dope card and range log are templates. You fill them from your own chronograph, a ballistic app, or the ammunition manufacturer's published figures for your exact load. Nothing here invents a drop or wind number for you.
Does this cover ammunition or firearms?
No. This kit is about the optic: mounting it, zeroing it and keeping a record. It does not sell, recommend or discuss ammunition purchasing or firearms themselves.
Does it cover hunting regulations?
The hunting trip checklist reminds you to check licenses, tags and season rules. It always points you to your state wildlife agency rather than stating any specific regulation, because those change by state and by year.
I already know how to mount a scope. Is this still useful?
The mounting steps will be familiar. What most people do not have is a torque log with witness marks, a zeroing log that uses the correct click math at the distance actually shot, and a dope card template ready before the next range trip.
What if it does not help?
Use the whole kit for 30 days. If it does not help, the refund form on the contact page gets every dollar back, no questions asked. Refund form.
Printable or fillable on screen?
Both. Print it and write by hand, or open a worksheet PDF in a reader that supports typing and fill it on a tablet or phone.
