I'm not sure what you mean by "calibrate".  I think what you mean is how to sight in your rifle.  If that is what you mean, I can help you with that.  You will need a way to hold your rifle very steady such as with sand bags.  You begin by removing the bolt so that you can see through the bore of the rifle.  Select an object that is about 50 yards away and look through the bore and carefully bore sight the rifle so that the object is centered in the bore of the rifle.  Now carefully without moving the rifle, adjust the rear sight so that the sights are lined up opn the object that you bore sighted on.  You may have to go back and forth between the bore and the sights until they are both lined up on the object.  Now it is time to take your rifle to the range.  Be sure to take the sand bags with you.  Set up a target at 50 yards and shoot a carefully aimed group of three shots at the target.  Hold the sights dead center on the bullseye for each shot.  Do not attempt to adjust where you hold on the target.  If you were careful in firing your three shots, they should be in a group somewhere on the target.  Now, without moving the rifle adjust your sights so that they are aiming at the center of your group.  Now your rifle sights should be sighted in where the rifle is shooting.  Shoot another group of three shots holding dead center on the bullseye.  If you carefully adjusted your sights as I explained and did not move the rifle is doing so, you should have this second group in the center of the bullseye.  If not, repeat the sight adjustment until the group is located in the center of the bullseye.  Now, move your target back to 100 yards and repeat the process.  Always remember to move the rear sight in the direction that you want to move your group.  Move your sight up to move the group up, down to move it down, left to move it left, etc.\n\nGood luck and have a good time sighting in your rifle.  Don't let it frustrate you.

I have found for my gun which is a mossberg 500 slugster that rifled federals work the best.  I have had problems with winchesters. they jammed up my gun.  Don't use sabots unless you have a rifled barrel

The biggest question is how much do you want to spend?  The second question is what type of quality do you want?\n\nI use a Zeiss Diavari 3-12x56 *T*.  That cost me a pretty penny, but it's an excellent scope, illuminated, and has a lifetime warranty.\n\nWhatever scope you decide to buy, I recommend that you get one that's illuminated.  When you are out at dusk or dawn and try to put black cross hairs on a dark body in very little light, that little red dot is a HUGE asset.

First I Invite you to join the swedish Mauser Yahoo group. Next If you have never used open sights, heres the $.02 lesson. Sight the bullseye (plate) to sit directly above the front sight ( without the gap)\n\n                                 O\n                                  II\n\n\nThe rear notch is alined like this:\n                                     \n                              &#92;||/\n\nSo when you shoot, focus the eye on the front sight thus making the bullseye fuzzy and all aligned like this:( but no gap!) Adjust your hold till the rounds hit the black\n\n\n\n                                O\n                               &#92;||/

Hey, Great job! For a 13 year old, 330 meters even with a scope is good. Even for someone who has been hunting for a long time, iron sights at 330 meters/yards to kill a deer with a .243 would be very hard to do. So good shot kid. Have fun hunting and by the way how big was the buck?

Before you trade your gun, try using loc-tite on the threads of your mounting screws,I'm assuming your talking about a standard "Weaver" mount set up. Position your scope where you want it for shooting, tighten the front mount screw, back out the rear and put some thread lock on it, tighten it as much as you can, then do the same with the front screw. This is how we mount all out scopes on our sniper rifles, if you have a different set up, feel free to e-mail me

Absolutely nothing is better than attending a star party and actually trying out a handful of different scopes.\n\nAnyone who brings one is there to share and would be happy to tell you about their scope and its strengths and weaknesses.\n\nWhen buying something that enables you to see, it is best to go and try them first rather than trying to visualize from a text description in a magazine or website.\n\nGo to your local community college and ask when the next one is or maybe some libraries around would have a community board.

Link below to weaver scope mounts for Savage rifles. The mounts don't normally come with a scope, sometimes they'll include a set of rings to mount the scope to the mount that goes on the rifle though. Most of the time you'll need to purchase the rings and mount seperately though.

Telescopic sights (scopes) are used to align the firearm's point of aim to match it's point of impact. Scopes come in many different sizes and magifications. Some are designed for specific uses i.e. rifles or pistols. They can be as simple as a small telescope or as advanced as coated lenses to improve light transmission.\n\nMost utilize a means of marking the point of aim by a wire inside the scope called a reticle. They can be shaped as a crosshair or just a simple dot or designed for a specific purpose. By aligning the reticle with your target you are "aiming" the firearm. In most scopes the reticle can be adjusted horizontally and vertically to compensate for initial setup, bullet travel and wind.

Duct tape works beautifully for easy fixes.\n\nActually, to be serious, you should try checking out either the scope manufacturer's site, or the weapon manufacturer's site. Because it all depends on the dimensions of the mounting point of the weapon, as well as the diameter of the scope.
