To use a scope effectively, you will need to mount it properly, adjust it to your eye, use the correct magnification, and keep it clean. Here are some additional tips for using a scope effectively: 1. Get behind the scope. When you are shooting, make sure that your eye is as close to the scope as possible. This will help you to get a clear image through the scope. 2. Use your cheek weld. Your cheek weld is the contact between your cheek and the stock of the rifle. A good cheek weld will help you to stay steady and accurate when you shoot. 3. Follow through. After you fire a shot, keep your cheek weld and continue to follow the target through the scope. This will help you to see where your shot hit and to make any necessary adjustments for your next shot. By following these tips, you can use a scope effectively and accurately for AR-15 hog hunting.
