There's no such thing as "fliers". Same hole shots mean nothing. Shots will be randomly distributed within a "cone of fire" based on what your rifle / ammo / shooter is capable of. You have to shoot a minimum of 20-30 shots (with cooling) to get your extreme spread before you really know what you are capable of with that rifle / ammo combo. This is what we need to know before taking a long range shot on game. People that believe they are shooting a .5 to 1.0 MOA gun are most likely closer to 1.5". MOA guarantees are bogus. That only means they are able to produce a single 3 shot group. No way their guarantee will hold up over 30 shots.

I got the Christensen Mesa 308. The gun operates great and feels great. Shoots amazing with factory ammo. It loves the federal fusion 165 and the Remington tipped corelock

I think your second step is to turn the tour it all the way down before you zeroed in then you tighten the zero stop zero stop screws then you put your turn on zero but you don’t just zero then you have to start with your zero turn it all the way down

Exactly what I was looking for. Took my late father in laws 7mm Rem Mag to the range, got it dialed in, then realized the whole zero stop thing after. Thought I might have to start from scratch, but was thinking through the process and this video just confirmed what I thought should be an easy adjustment. Will get on the range soon to try it out, but I don't see why it won't be right where I left it.

I have this same rifle in 6.5cm as well. Do you have overheating barrel problems? I can shoot about 5 times and gotta stop for awhile. Its no problem as its a thin barrel but im just seeing what your tests showed

I have one in the western viper camo pattern and it's not rough feeling at all..😊

I'm just starting to learn scopes, and Im still so damn confused. There's so much to learn.

Best scope i have ever owned!

I dont understand your question to kimber? You wanted them to tell you which chambering to choose? Thats your decision, if they tell you what to get then your unhappy they really get an earful. IDK maybe i misunderstood but i listened twice. Factory or handloads shouldn't matter. I have the mountain ascent in 30.06 for 5 years. I can do a 1 inch 3 shot group at 300 yds off a bag. They are great guns.

Great Video !!! So I Just laser sighted my rifle at about 50 Yards (Neighbor house, LOL) I had to come up like 40 moa and now have the 3rd line up from zero on the Inner turret. Now when I put on my outer turret on it shows the 3rd line up since I went up 40 moa. It drives me crazy seeing the 3 line or 75 moa line instead of the true zero. Is there any way to make that inner Turret back to zero?

Terrible safety on the one a checked out last week at the gun shop. Three position wing safety that was very stiff to move. No good for still hunting or trackers.

Ah, Well here I am, apparently 6 years later from when this video was 1st posted. I ended up in scenario #2. Apparently I did not read, (hey I'm a guy, who thinks he doesn't need to fully read instructions), to make sure I started at the zero stop when I sighted in. I just assumed because the scope was set at the zero mark on the outer caps I was at zero and zero stop and I just went to normal sight in procedures. Not so with the zero stop, thus I had scenario #2 and my zero stop was not set correctly. Thanks for your explanation, it was very helpful. I gotta get better at fully reading the instructions first, before assuming I know what I am doing. Oh well live and learn.

That second method is money. I was way to impatient trying this scope out on a rifle and way to short on time and trust to zero down the elevation turret initially lol

And is there a special tool needed or just an Allen wrench?

Where do you change out the battery on the FX 1000?

Also if you are on the second method, are you able to go back to the first method?

With the second method, it seems alot "higher" than the first method. Is that nornal? Does that mean you lose range since its already drawn out so far and putti g you closer to the max that you can turn it? Or am i not understanding it right?

Most well informed Vortex Viper Gen II PST RZR zero stop video and instructions even six years later for those of us who are excited to zero and then read instructions later. Saved a ton of time and ammo. Great work!

Can you lightly lube the bolt with lucas gun oil once its been cleaned?

So I was putting the rev stop on I notice I place it with the letter upside down I fix it but would that affect the scope ?

Play this at 2x speed. You're welcome.

Just bought me a set today. I shoot 6BR and reload the cases multiple times not knowing when to stop reloading a batch of brass. Suddenly primers started to fall out during a match. A friend told me about this product. Just one more step on the learning curve, Thanks ballistic tools.

Will any m5 bottom medal fit this stock. Not sure if there's any differences in the m5 inlet.

did you mean to say 1st focal plane? The site says Reticle Position:Second Focal Plane

Is it possible to put on the zero stop the way that you have lets say 4 klicks below zero?

Both your vids on this scope are very useful and informative. What kind of mount do you use and is it a low, medium, or high mount? Thank you!

“ You replaced the bolt handle in less than 5 minutes “ … actually that was less than a minute and 40 seconds 😁 Nicely done ! I have only one question : where can I get that exact same bolt handle ? I love that .

5 years later, great help thank you

What's the weight of it compared to factory stock I really like the looks I want one but idk if it weights a good bit less cause I have a 300wsm that already kicks enough

2nd Method for the money! Saved me a headache. Thank you.

Does this work similar to Accuracy One Precision Primer Gauge i now that has a pressure dial indicator but this item seems small and easy to use. Wolanted to know your input thanks.

I guess I’m old. I’d never pack 100 pounds except for the Army, bless 11Bs. Even an elk bull rear 1/4 bone in isn’t sporting over 80 in my experience. Now a moose might be a different story, but I don’t doubt this pack will handle that too.

The broadwing is my do everything bag, from 4th season cold weather hunts to just day hikes with Rocky Mountain emergency gear and optics. It does get a lot quieter with use and I had no problem with noise on my 20 meter archery bull, but like I said I use it all the time not just hunting season. The pass through upper side pockets are awesome for tripods and spotting scopes. I usually have my tripod on one side and my rain gear on the other. I don’t need to put smaller items in the pass through pockets because I have hip belt pouches for need at hand items like my range finder or water purification drops and I have my talon for the rest. The lower side pockets are big enough for a Nalgene and a pair of gloves. The talon is what I consider an integrated and necessary part of the system. It compresses the whole pack for when I’m day hunting from my camp and yet keeps things easily accessible. Even though this is a break away pack for putting game bag’s between your pack frame and Main bag I never use it that way. I always put my game bags whether bone in elk quarters or loose meet between the talon and the pack bag. The limited items I carry on while hunting form a shelf at the bottom of the bag. Much easier to clean up after the hunt. I never carry my camp out and meat out at the same time so the break away concept is useless . If anything my last load will be my camp and skull after all that elk meat is in the coolers at my truck. If I would change anything, I would get rid of the pack bag zipper. I’ve been backpacking for damn near 30 years and I know how to pack my bag sequentially. I have never packed anything on the bottom of my pack except what I need last and that is my sleeping bag after I have my camp set up. So the main bag zipper is the most useless part of the pack. Otherwise from summer to winter this is my go to pack and I’m sorry to see seek outside has gone away from this pack style.

This clicked for me. Thanks for the help.

2nd scenario was awesome. Thanks for the instructions.

Finally somebody that demonstrates this procedure whose hands aren’t in the way or who knows how to put his camera on a tripod so that when it gets to the important turns he’s not looking at his loading press. Great job, now I know how to do it.

I just got this rifle do you have a problem with the first cold bore shot being separate from the rest of the group and how long did you wait between shots seems like the barrel heats up quick

Was looking to put pic rail on Christensen Arms Ridgeline, so your review was very handy. Thank you.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to using this scope and I'm gathering information on the zero stop

Where's a link to the first chest rig you had on?

In the second scenario, if I rotate the turret to the zero stop, then loosen the screws to rotate the turret to my zero, won't my zero be off since I rotated the turret to find the zero stop?

I’d like to know more about your tikka build. Looking at getting one and you seem like you have it figured out for accuracy.

Thanks for showing both methods I'm that knuckle head that didn look at the book and went out and sighted in thinking I'd set my zero stop later at home 😂

6 minutes and you dont show the zero stop in operation

Great video!

PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE I PURCHASED A VIPER PST USED NO BOX NO MANUAL AFTER THINKING I HAD ZEROED IT AND BEFORE WATCHING ANY VIDEOS I KNEW I HAD TO REMOVE THE TURRET CAPS AND ROTATE THEM AND ON THE UP/DOWN TURRET I REMOVED THE 2 ALLEN HEAD SCREWS IN THE TOP FROM THE 2ND TURRET THE ONE YOU CALL THE ZERO STOP THINKING I NEED TO ROTATE IT UPON DOING SO I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMETHING FALL OUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING ON THE FLOOR ANYWHERE I PUT IT BACK TOGETHER NOW IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE IT ROTATES FREELY NOT CLICKING AND NOT MOVING IN 1/4 CLICKS IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MAY HAVE LOST OR WHAT I AM DOING WRONG OR KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A PARTS BREAKDOWN YES I COULD SEND IT TO VORTEX TO BE REPAIRED BUT I TRULY BELIEVE I LOST SOME THAT I CAN PUT BACK TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN IF ANY ONE READS OR KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Thank you definitely a lifesaver 🙏

this seems to be a better way to check than pressure as you are seating the primer thankyou for the report ;)

Do the newer ones have pillars? Mine appears to be only the carbon fiber composite type material

How do you just de cock the bolt man?
