I just blew through a box of .22 shells attempting to get my scope sighted

Are you using a shooting rest or bench?


When sighting in a scope, does one aim at the bullseye, then adjust the
scope point towards the center. IOW, I aim at the bullseye and hit high
right. Do I adjust the screws DOWN and LEFT, or do I adjust UP and RIGHT?
Towards the strike point, or towards the bullseye?


Adjusting the scope down brings the aim up.
Adjusting the scope right brings the aim left.


I know this is a simple matter, but right now I'm stymied, and don't want to
waste another box.


Here ya go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv4BTH45Nmk
