I bore site my scopes first. Then use a fresh sheet of cardboard as a target backing. Shoot six rounds, check the grouping then make adjustments.

If you bought it w/ the scope already on.  I'd try it as is.  Most LER scopes are built to be paralax free at 50 yards, so that's where I'd set the target.  Use a large piece of cardboard so you can tell if you're off the paper.  Make bold corrections until you get close.

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

You want to save headache or ammo ?

 

Get a gun rest or bags and start at 25 yrds, fire 2 shots. Now put the cross

hairs on the 2 holes you made and make sure turet caps are off and get

that gun solid. Adjust scope turets till the cross hairs are inline with where

you want to hit on target, again make sure gun is rock solid when you make

adjustment. Retest at 25 yrds with two shots, make any adjustment as

needed then move to 50 yrds and repeat and fine tune. All should be well

 and pretty close within 10 rounds.

 

goodluck
