Actually, usually scopes are pretty much all 1/4" or 1/4 moa @ 100 yards...
As you're at 25 yards, you're 4x closer... that means 4x more clics to get it right...
With your firing results, you would have to give around 28 - 32 clics toward the left side.
i know I'm pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?

@Avery Marcus Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !
@Raylan Ian you are welcome =)
AT 25 YARDS IT TAKES ABOUGHT 16 CLICKS TO MOVE POINT OF AIM 1 INCHHI
@@garrytalley8009 it also depends on caliber and loading too. I have a couple AXIS II's in .223 and point of aim verys between manufacturers and even handloads. I found one that is doing half moa with handloads and around 1 with factory and the other is 1.5 no matter what. But the one that shoots handloads the best I ditched the original scope and put a vortex strike eagle on it and I've never missed vitals on anything I was hunting.
Aj, bullshit.. 1/4 MOA per click at 100 will be constant no matter what caliber or ammunition you are using.
This is CRINGE 😬 😂😣
@@kosiebantjes105 dude you're stupid!!! Read the damn comment!!! He said at 25 yards not 100 and yes AJ is correct it's 4 clicks per inch at 100yards and the closer you get the more clicks it takes!!! Per inch it's 4 at 100 and 8 clicks at 50 and 16 clicks at 25 yards to move an inch
@@Wildwestwrangler , You seem to have not noticed who I was replying to..
Mine was off to the right and low when I got it. In .308 it’s a very accurate rifle for the money. Love the accu-trigger too. Thumbs up.
I never put caps back on until i knew its zeroed in. i use federal 100 power shok put deer down quick.
james mcneill heads up you spelled deer wrong.
Damn auto correct lol
Knows about as much about sitting scopes as i do brain surgery
I like the fact that it seemed honest. The fiddling with it was actually entertaining to watch and it happens, especially if a person isnt as experienced, like me. Seeing someone with a lot of experience having to fudge with the rifle a little, makes me less insecure about having to do the same thing. Ive only sighted in one rifle and I felt like a total ass the whole time. Next time, ill feel like less of an ass knowing that it happens at all levels. So thank you for that.
Daniil Margolin No worries my friend! thanks for commenting as well as watching!
Daniil Margolin this guy doesn't seem to have much experience, just because someone makes video doesn't mean they know what they are doing..in my opinion anyone who has ever owned a rifle and actually hunted with it knows as much as this guy
Put cross hairs on target, shoot. Hold cross hairs back at the same aiming point on target, now adjust cross hairs to be on the hole the first shot made........rifle is now zeroed at that distance. One shot not a box to zero.
I've got the same rifle in 350 legend took 6 shots to zero and can bust a can of beans at 100 yard all day long.mine came with a Bushnell scope .love it
I've bought a few of cheap rifles of this price class Savage and Ruger. They all got better after a few boxes of ammo. Really respond to a good break in procedure. And keep track of tightness of all stock to barrel fasteners.
I recently bought an Axis in 30-06. I'm glad to see right out of the box it will do decent grouping at 25 yards. However since I already bought mine. I plan to perhaps upgrade the rings then remount the scope and be sure everything is evenly tight and right where it needs to be. Bore sight it, then go from there. Also with the price of ammo these days. I will use a new point of aim after each adjustment, start at 50 yards, then repeat at 100, then call it good enough. Enjoyed your video.
To get your gun dead center at that range fire 3 shots like you did. Hold the gun dead center on target and have someone else dial the scope towards the group you just shot. Done right you will be dead on target with the next shot. Shouldn't take more than 4 shots to have it dead on.
When sighting in a rifle scope it is a waste of time and energy to keep replacing the dust cover between shots, Remember at the shorter distances as Michel said it takes more movement of the adjustment to move the shot placement. I would suggest you review videos on scope adjustments.

I won a Savage Axis at a Sportsman's dinner plus another rifle. I traded the other rifle for a good Weaver 3-9x40 scope and Laser sighted it on the garage over head door. Took it out pig hunting next week. I sat the pig I wanted and put the cross hairs on the Pig's left ear and fired. Pig tipped over and went 4 hooves up. the shot was a little low, it hit the scapula, ricochet into the spine and ricochet into the heart. Best bank shot I ever made. I use my Savage Axis II when teaching at the range. The rifle has hit flies @ 100 yards (a fly will land on the paper target and I'll tell the student to aim for the fly. I watch the fly in my spotting scope (Burris 20-60x60) The fly will disappear and a hole replace it. It's really accurate.
Barrel probably so hot u can't touch it don't help accuracy
I'm a Minnesota boy so the Wisconsin accent sounds good "OK". I love Savages and own several. The package you're shooting is available on Classicfirearms now for just 371 bucks. And once you buy one you're allowed to take the darn stickers off too "don-cha-noe".
I used an old school cheat method w/my .30-06 Axis II: Put the gun in a rest, shot one hole in my "shoot n see" target, then dialed in my crosshairs to that first shot. Now I'm dead on
At 25 yards, you need to dial it over 4 times the value of 100 yards!
NOTE: Very good trigger finger work by the lady. I recommend a chamber laser bore emitter and a bench in the garage. Mark your bore center axis and center line of sight on the paper. Adjust the scope so the cross hair marks are the distance above the center bore axis and are vertically aligned.
Lol. I just got the 30-06 caliber today, and I had to the same exact thing happen to me today. Same exact thing. Lol. You're right, nice tight groups.
pinkmist1970 • just bought that today in the same caliber have to wait 10 days to get it but how's it on the shoulders?
the scope adjustments are 1/4 inch at 100 yards your only shooting it a 20 yards so thatmeans that each click of adjustment turns in to 1/8 of an inch so you have to put 8 ckicks of adjustment for 1 inch at 20 at 100 yards it would only be 4 clicks i own several of the savage axis xp2 one is a 22-250 that i groundhog hunt with i kill tgem from 100 yards clean out to 500 yards the 270 version ive killed deer with it at 250 yards great guns for the money
Yeah, just moved it the wrong way. Had been a few years
4 clics for 1 inch at 100 yards, means 8 clics at 50 yards... and 16 clics at 25 yards...
20 yards would be 20 clics for 1 inch adjustment.
Thank you, interested in this make, model and cal. Good you show your probs with sighting in. You are not alone.
I suggest you do not trust the quality of the scope mounting that comes with a factory mounted and bore sighted scope. They are usually Weaver mount bases and rings. The bases are fine. Remove the base screws, degrease, blue loctite them, and torque to spec. Throw away the factory rings, buy some Weaver Steel grand slams and mount those. Lap rings if necessary. Degrease all of those screws and mount the scope. Torque to spec. Don’t want to lap rings? But Burris Signiture rings of DNZ Game reaper mounts.
It’s 16 clicks at 25yds . 8 at 50yds. 4 at 100. Or secure the rifle, place the crosshairs on target and move the crosshairs to point of impact on target. That will get you on base.
you have to double your # of clicks for closer, 4 is for at 100yds and i think on some of them you turned it one way then went the opposite got talking then did the same thing again and went back to the original. Happy shooting and happy hunting. also a good tip would be to use cheap ammo to sight in then use the stuff you are going to hunt with to fine tune it.
yeah, lost my train of thought! haha, thank you for the advice and thanks for watching!
I liked your video because I have and love all my Axis rifles. I would suggest you get a shooting rest that holds the gun in place like a gun sled style and watch some other videos on UA-cam about sighting in a rifle where they bore sight the old fashioned way by removing the bolt and putting your target dead center of the bore looking down the barrel for starters. I am sure you understand the clicks and yardage well after so many other people said the same thing over and over so many times. Have a nice day and enjoy shooting and making videos. You should be able to sight a rifle in real good with no more than 9 shots.
I put about 40 rounds through mine and the weaver scope wouldn't adj power. It stuck at 3 power. I put a Nikon p-308 on and it shoots great. Mine axis is a 7mm-08.
TexanUSMC8089 My sis hunby just got one in 7mm 08. loves it! thanks for watching!!!
It's not a clip it's called a magazine. Sight your gun in at 50 yards , shoot 3 bullets, adjust scope clicks in scope x2 since it's set for clicks perc100 yards. So double that at 50 yards. Then you'll be right on the money
That lil rifle holds a great group ,good luck happy hunting ,thanks for posting
Spend a little more and get the ruger American. I purchased one in .308 as a budget sniper project and prior to altering the rifle I was getting 1/4 inch groups at 100yrds. Feels a lot more solid and better built than either the patriot or axis. P.s. Just bought a patriot in .243 for the girlfriend and I would suggest taking a patriot over an axis if the ruger american is out of the question. I believe you can pick up the patriot cheaper than an axis and it seems to be a better rifle.
Ruger American is a good choice but doesn't come in 7mm-08 as far as I know.
Northeast Hunter yep it sure does, purchased one in 7mm-08 for my girlfriend as a hunting rifle last year but she still couldn't keep consistent with it (she had a hard time with recoil). she now has a .243
Northeast Hunter www.cabelas.com/product/Ruger-American-Rifle-reg-Bolt-Action-Rifles/1364972.uts , scroll down to check caliber and availability. I work at a gun shop and my boss gets me anything he can order for the price he gets it for. Only paid $259 per rifle.
SuperNova buy a howa 1500 . Same price as ruger American and far better
I just sold my Ruger American pred 308 and bought the Axis II 308 ($249 after rebate). I like the trigger on the Savage better than the Ruger.
He said it’s been a while since I sighted a scope lol I like this cuz we’ve all been there and it feels good to know I’m not the only one haha
To move your hits LEFT, turn your turret clockwise. To move your hits down, turn top turret clockwise. I remember by thinking of it like a nut and bolt.
I’ve never seen a Savage that wouldn’t. So would the Ruger. I’d be shocked were that not the case. I own a 110 and it is outstanding. .243 is accurate. You’re doing similar testing to “Who Tee Who” which is a good thing. I might snag one in 7mm REM Mag.
0:20 BANG 😂😂😂, I listen to that like 4 times...awesome
sounded like a cannon!
GunTimez yes, I need to move to Wisconsin lol
I got myself a 30-06
Savage Axis II XP
I noticed it doesn't have a Accue trigger just the basic . I paid $350 plus the $75 rebate should be getting it this Thursday.
I made the same mistake of not punching the magazine all the way in but with the 308 version and the mag popped out as soon as I pulled the trigger
Definitely a keeper! The rifle is also…
Take the bolt out look through the barrel line it up with the target adjust scope or get a bore sight
I usually just take both caps off until I'm sighted in (just me)... seems as if the gun shoot a good group that's what I wanted to figure out was looking at true shooting fairly reasonably priced 243.
4 click at 25 yrs is a quarter inch. Needed to go 20 clicks left 8 up should put you on.
Make sure the scope mounts are tight and torqued down.
You were turning it the wrong way. To move the shot to the left you have to screw the knob in. To move to right you screw the knob out. Plus a 1/4 moa scope is four clicks @100 yards, so @ 25 yards you would need to turn 16 clicks per inch of movement.
at that distance move dial 24 clicks left 8 clicks up it is 1/4 inch pr 4 click at 25 yards
Should of used a fresh target sheet because can tell where you hit the target?? But i have the same rifle and i absolutely love it!!
Heck Yeah
It also comes in 25-06 to
a bore-sighting kit would help save on ammunition in the long run. :)
With a bolt action, just bore-sighting by sighting through the barrel and adjusting the scope accordingly is easy without the need for a bore-sighting kit.
@@reb1050 Old school, but works for me every time.
@@paulschliemann7616 Old school and military training on a 106 recoilless rifle with the .50 cal. spotting rifle on top
I’d say it was bore sighted just fine. Really needed to do some math on those clicks though. Have the same gun in 6.5 and took no more than 6 shots to have it sighted at 25 yards. Knowledge of sighting using the scope turrets is key because this is my first rifle. Just did a bunch of research before blowing through all my ammo
The rifle was boresighted just fine from the factory homeboy just didn't know how to sight his rifle in after that and at first moved it not enough the right direction then moved it the wrong direction then didn't move it enough clicks at a time the hard time setting in had nothing to do with the bore sighting
Been a long time
At twenty five yards you needed about 44 clicks left and about 32 clicks up to get on center on that target. Four clicks per inch at 100 yards. Turning in as small increments as you were, you would have been better off getting on paper and zeroing in at 100 yards, then adjust to the distance you believe you will be shooting game at. Nice grouping, I think you bought a very capable deer rifle.
mines in 30-06 Springfield, haven't shot it yet
I bought the 30-06 Springfield today. I'm cracking up because the samething happened to me today.
If your hitting to the RIGHT, Move your scope to the right which will force you to pull your aim back to the LEFT.
Wrong, you adjust scope WHERE you want bullets to go... it is hitting right, move scope left.
1:22 the answer is no, but the answer is still no regardless of what rifle you buy. Not testing and proving your rifle before going hunting would just be irresponsible.
5:19 that's the type of group I would expect at 100 yards with this rifle. Not even sure why you'd fire at something that close unless you're just seeing if it's on paper at that range before sighting it in.
Obviously, you're new to this, it's all a learning experience. Thanks for sharing.
Keep up the good work 👍
you can just push the round straight down into the mag
geeven chetty no you can't the opening is to small.
Not on this rifle bud
No i have had the same scope problem
25 yards not 4 clicks.....16 to one inch i believe ... But was fun to watch
It takes 16 klicks to move 1 inch at 25 yards
That accutrigger helps me but just personal preference
I’m going to buy this exact rifle in 308 Winchester next Wednesday with a bushnell banner 3 scope what is a good range to zero a scope at I’ve never gone deer hunting before so I don’t know what the average distance is is 100 yards what most people zero at before going deer hunting?
Savage axis ii XP comes in all callers
but no magnum rounds. I got 6 Savage axis rifles like them. Hate the new Logo Chang not good.
why not leave the cap off if your making adjustments. you had to keep taking the cap off
Is the recoil bad on these 30-06 by savage?
What brand of shells what you using?
I hope you brought more ammo, 4 clicks at 20 yds=
Very useful review!
It appears you were off about 40 clicks, not 4 -- you were going the right way to start with !
everytime i hear anything about winsconsin i think of that 70s show
XxVeNoMxX That was set in Wi wasnt it? haha
25 yards 16 clicks will give you about an inch. At 100 yards 4 clicks should give you an inch, other then that good video.
scott brake thanks my friend!
GunTimez #Josh No problem I also have those moments every now and then. I have the axis in 223 and it shoots very tight groups for such a cheap rifle.
Ya and if you ever wanted to tighten the groups up just buy a higher quality barrel and call it good.
16 clicks=1 inch at 25 yards is correct.
Buy a $20 laser than you stick in the end of the barrel to get the zero close and see which way the adjust move point of aim; cheaper than a box of ammo these days. Then a few bullets to zero.
What bullets are you shooting
Just leave the cap off. If your shooting to the right, then move about 4 clicks to the left.
Mines a 30-06 but took the shitty scope off and put a Sig Sauer Whiskey 3 4-12X50mm
The scope on it is adequate out to 200 yd. Why would anyone want a 50 mm scope? 44 mm has as much field of view as one can get. 50 mm is just a cheap way to get more light. 50 mm scopes are just too bulky. Been there done that. I wish I could get 25 cents on the dollar for the 50 mm scopes I bought in the past. What I am saying is I have made that mistake on 50 mm scopes in the past and it is a major mistake.
At 4:40 did someone shoot a canon !?
bkelleythehive there was a guy shooting a 338 lane over
What twist is your 223
I don’t understand the “ i dont know where the rounds are going lets just keep cranking them out” like unless you want to waste Money and time.
You really didn't understand scopes when you made this video
is that a pistol range or target ,shoot at 50 /75/100 plz
bore sighting saves ammo
Nice video I definitely want one in 30-06
Bought one yesterday in a 30-06 haven't shot it yet

@@charlesnorman1072 That is a great testimony! My local shop here in southern Indiana has several of these in stock. Including 5 in 30-06. Between $420-450, depending on configuration. Seems a little high, but not unexpected with the current circumstances. They will bore site the scope and loc-rite the screws for free if I buy the rifle from them. I've been watching reviews and most are very good. I've got an old Savage bolt action chambered in. 222 Remington. It was our ground hog gun around our farm when I was growing up. It's seen a lot of use over the years and is still going strong. I'm glad you are happy with your '06 and thanks for the fast reply !
you weren't twisting the windage knob the right way which cause you to keep shooting for the right you just did it correctly the first time but then you thought you twisted it the wrong way to the right which was the wrong way which cause you keep shooting for the right it says on the scope either L or R you have an arrow pointing which way
32 l. 32 up.
20 YDS?
You only adjusted 1/4 inch. 4 clicks = 1” at 100 yards.
1 click is 1/4 inch at 100. At 25 its quadrupled. You could of sighted that in in 3 shots easily
Wisconsin?? That accent hehe
Keep in mind guns have a break in period so there are bound to be A couple flyers from time to time
I got a Putin targit and put poop on it. At 100 yds i shoot the flyes that dair land.
At the very start you should have gone like 32 clicks to the left
what would you say the best ammo for sighting this gun in would be?
Bretly Clarke as with any rifle, if your using it for hunting I would recommend using whatever ammo you are going to use in the field.
What ever brand and grain combo your rifle likes, and depends if you are taking it hunting or just targets. Every rifle likes a different brand and bullet weight of ammo, but once you found the one that shoots most accurate, stick with it.
YEAH THAT BOLT IS TRICKY.
Nice job. Thanks for spending time to give us some good info. Have a great and safe 2017!
Gator Mack Thank you! And Happy New Year to you and yours! Thanks for watching!
iv had alot of people telling me this gun is innacurate. whats your opinion?
I thought the rifle grouped well, the problems that I had with it were purely operator error. In my opinion, its a solid rifle for the money. Thank you for watching!
I have a Savage Axis II in .270. I'm an inexperienced shooter and I was getting solid groups at 50meters and 100meters.
From that first group, theres no problem with the gun. They're a good shooting little rifle. Only thing I dont like about them is the bolt. You have to bring it too far up to be able to cycle the the cartridge and it seems ungainly. Other than that they're a good gun, and fairly light. I've got the 6.5 with the stainless barrel and the accutrigger. I like it. But for weight, balance and portability I like either the old 3030 Winchester or New England single shot which they dont make anymore. I hear Henry has a nice single though.

Nope very accurate box scope doesn’t do it justice. 1” @ 300 yds with a leopold xpii40 3x9
Why would you zero that rifle at 25 gaf! At least 50m
UA-cam little to many adds starting to really suck
Typical sticky bolt, typical ejection problems. Keep trying Savage talk to Tikka, They will show you how to make an action that functions! Listen to your customers and watch these videos! Come on guys!!!
If you are going to make a video maybe you should learn about shooting a rifle.
You've only been making 4 click adjustments which is only 1/4" at 25 yards so your just not moving it enough and confusing yourself
lmao right in the forehead. that was funny.
Spin the trutit
Pretty sure you wanna sight a rifle In at 100 yard at least not 25!🤔
Scopes are not the best on these rifles but Rings are total crap!! I'm getting another rings !! Torque them to specs and use Loctite !!
That rifle should have been sighted in with 6 rounds at 25 yards if you'd have done the math and not just blindly make adjustments
I learned the hard way but eventually caught on. you can sure burn through a box of ammo if you don't know what to do
If one click moves the strike of the round one quarter of an inch at one hundred yards it will take five clicks to move the strike of the round that same one quarter inch at twenty yards!!!!!
BTSP=Boat Tail Spitzer
Boat tail soft point
STOP! JUST STOP WASTING THAT EXPENSIVE AMMO!
Initially I start with a 3 shot group. Go to the target, measure the distance to bullseye, make the required adjustments. 4" right at 25y, move scope LEFT 16 clicks with a 1/4" MOA scope = 4 inches.
Shoot 2-3 more and see where it hits... if it isn't even close STOP SHOOTING and assess the situation.
OR, you can just shoot 1-2 rounds, aim your scope to the bullet holes where it impacted the target and adjust your scope to the bullseye while you are aiming point blank at the POI on your target. (Might have to get your wife to adjust while you are holding steady as you don't have a lead sled.)
Just blowing ammo away like this makes me cringe 🙂 happy shooting.
Yes, 16 clicks equals 4 inches AT 100 YDS! He was shooting at 25 yds. so to move impact 4 inches at 25 yds., it would take around 64 clicks.
