How to Zero a PSO 6X36 Rifle Scope

The PSO 6X36 rifle scope is produced in Russia and used extensively by the Russian military. The scope has a fixed magnification power of six times your normal vision (6x) and an objective lens 36 mm wide. The scope utilizes German Post crosshairs that feature an arrow on top of the vertical crosshair indicating the projected point-of-impact of your rifle's bullet. The scope can be quickly zeroed by using a laser boresighting device, which lets you zero in your scope without having to fire your rifle.

Once adjusted to the laser beam, the scope is zeroed in; turn off and remove your laser boresighter.
