The quickest, easiest way to sight a scope on a rifle, no calculations needed, is to first shoot a shot, then secure the rifle in the rest as best you can with the crosshairs on the target. Then use the adjustments on the scope to move the crosshairs to align with the hole you just shot. Even if you can't get the rifle perfectly motionless on the bag, it will get you closer, quicker than trying to click your way there. If your scope doesn't have enough magnification to see the bullet holes at 50, just start at 15 or 25 yards with this technique to get your scope sighted in and then move out to 50. Usually, with a scoped 22 rifle sighted in at 16 yards (50 feet) with HV ammo, you'll be very close at 50 yards. Using this approach, I've never needed more than 10 shots to get roughly sighted in at 50 and, typically, only takes half of that. I then spend the rest of the session fine tuning as needed.

So I take it this also works on a scope where the entire sight picture moves? | |

The hardest part is not moving the gun while you're messing with the adjustments. That's were a rest that allows you to lock in the gun comes in, handy.

I've always just fired 2 rds at 25 yds. If they are grouped closely together, I move the knobs, counting the clicks. check again with 2 rds, move again if necessary to get things right where they oughta be, then back off to whatever the zero range is going to be and fine tune. Normally, 4 more shots at that distance is all that's needed, barring a stray gust of wind or a brain-fart.
