hey guys! I sent my rifle to griffin & howe for them to install the 1" rings and mount. My question is how do you zero the scope with it being off-set of the barrel?

well you can sight in the rifle 2 different ways.
the 1st way is lets say bullseye deadnuts at 200 yards for example. if you sight it in at this distance and shoot at 100yrds you would shoot left of the target and at 300 yards right of the target so to know your kentucky windage you would have to shoot at different distances and remember where to hold off at various ranges. the further you take a shot the more the impact would drift left to right.
the second way to sight in the rifle would be to aim 1 inch left of the bullseye while the bullet hits the bullseye. if your scope is 1 inch left of the barrel and there both parallel at any distance you would always aim 1 inch left to hit your intended mark. anyway thats the idea behind it hope it helps
