Hmmm... if you fully cover the front-lense of the scope: Where does the light come from to see the reticle(s) ?? I have not tried it yet - but i assume if i cover the front with something i will only see black.
I use the old method of turning your scope turret in either direction until it stops, then all the way back in the opposite direction? until it stops, while counting the clicks. Then divide that number by 2 and click back that many times. Obviously, your system is much easier ... if it works. Looks like lots of folks are having trouble with it.
This is only meant if the scope has been adjusted 10s of times and you put it on a new rifle with bad rails and it maxes out or if it starts to shift between shots. This should actually be done every time you change the scope to a new rifle so you don’t damage it by overdoing the screwing part. If the scope is zero, and the rifle requires more than a couple of turns to get it straight you go and find better scope holders grips or how they are called instead of adjusting the scope. This is only applicable if you want the scope to perform its best and not lose zero when its set up.
Tried it. Mirror covered scope, darkness descended, couldn't see anything, let alone to adjust it. Scope is SFP, on lowest mag setting. Ooooooooohhhh, illuminated cross hair! Might try that?
In a dark room, the glass from the mirror in front of its reflective surface should allow enough light to enter to see your reticle. Make sure you use a traditional mirror with a glass layer.
That is one of the coolest tricks yet. Tx...
Been at this game for 30 years, never saw this before, awesome, thanks Leupold for posting

we got ourselves a scientist
Or a fat reflection of ur eye
Perfect explanation bro… 👊🏽… short video but very informative ❤ Thanks 🙏🏼
loves this . Lookins for this thing so long
Wow. Glad I watched this.
This for FFP or 2nd FP Scopes or both?
All of my scopes are FFP and this works. Been using this method for years now.
When I tried this why is it I could not see the second reticle? It was dark and I could only see the 1 reticle (Hawke Scope)
Kind regards
Amazing hack, thank you for sharing 🤝
I still get darkness.
What do the Leupold mirrors run? I want one
Brilliant! Thanks!
You're welcome!
I tried this; it didn't work; no light; couldn't see anything.

Tried this the other day on 7 different scopes. Really struggled to see anything, one scope I tried it on I couldn't see a damn thing!
Could ya make knocking down a buck this easy ??
Nothing but black. Tried illumination. Nothing but black and illumination.
Make sure there is enough ambient light in the room to allow light to pass in through the glass on the front of the mirror
WASTE OF TIME IT JUST GOES BLACK
HOW CAN IT BE SO SIMPLE!🤣🤣
And than you go and move them to zero your scope again...pointless.

Nope. Must be FFP only?

@@LeupoldOptics Thank you kindly Sir, will give that another go. Stay safe and happy.
Exactly! It went dark and can't see anything. i wonder if he's actually messing with us?
@@FeckArseIndustriesI’ve just watched a different video that said this ONLY works for SFP scopes.
