Vanguard Endeavor RS IV 2.5-10x50: Zeroing and Turret Setup

Why zeroing matters for the Endeavor RS IV

Zeroing your riflescope ensures your point of aim matches your point of impact. The Vanguard Endeavor RS IV 2.5-10x50 offers precise windage and elevation adjustments with a zero reset feature, making it straightforward to set up and return to your zero after dialing. This guide walks you through the process using the scope's specifications, so you can get on target with confidence.

Step-by-step zeroing procedure

Follow these steps to zero your Endeavor RS IV. Remember to perform this at a safe shooting range and follow all firearm safety rules.

1. Mount the scope securely: Use appropriate 30mm rings and ensure the scope is level and tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. The one-piece 30mm tube is constructed from high-grade T6061 aluminum for robustness.
2. Set up a target at a known distance: Place a target at 100 meters (or yards) to match the scope's adjustment units. The Endeavor RS IV adjusts at 1/4 M.O.A per click (7mm at 100m).
3. Fire a group and measure impact: Aim at the center and fire a steady group. Measure the horizontal and vertical distance from the point of aim to the center of your group.
4. Adjust windage and elevation: Using the turrets, dial the required number of clicks to move your point of impact. Each click moves impact by 1/4 M.O.A (7mm at 100m). The scope offers 108 M.O.A of windage and 90 M.O.A of elevation adjustment.
5. Reset the turrets to zero: Once zeroed, use the zero reset feature to align the turret markings with zero. This allows you to return to your zero easily after making temporary adjustments.

Using the illuminated Dispatch 600 reticle

The Dispatch 600 reticle is etched and illuminated, with a CR 2032 battery (two included). The illumination helps in low-light conditions, but remember to turn it off when not in use to preserve battery life. The reticle is designed for ballistic compensation, but you should verify holdover values at the range.

• Vanguard Endeavor RS IV 2.5-10X50 Dispatch 600 Riflescope: Windage adjustment: 108 M.O.A; Elevation adjustment: 90 M.O.A These ranges give you ample adjustment for most shooting situations, but if you're near the limits, consider a tapered base.
• Vanguard Endeavor RS IV 2.5-10X50 Dispatch 600 Riflescope: Zero reset feature Allows you to reset turrets to zero after sighting in, making it easy to return to your base zero.

What to check after zeroing

After zeroing, confirm that the turrets are securely set and that the zero reset is engaged. The scope is sealed against dust and moisture, nitrogen purged, and recoil resistant, so it should maintain zero under normal use. Always verify your zero before a hunt or competition.
