Hi
There are lots of ways to do this. Here's a way that will get you the most out of the scope. Admittedly this is a little involved:
First step is to make sure the 'scope is centered in it's range. You don't want to get everything all set up and then find you have no adjustment available. You *carefully* run it to it's limits and then set the dials in the middle.
Next step is to do a quick look down the bore and see where the rifle is headed. That should be close to where the scope is pointed. Missing paper at 25 yards *is* possible ...
If everything is just right, you should be about an inch low and dead on left to right at 25 yards. If you are 7" high, that's 8" off. At 100 yards this would be 32" off. I have seen scopes that will not adjust that far.
I would keep the scope centered and work on the mounts to get within 2" left / right and 4" up /down of where you want to be at 25 yards. That way you have plenty of adjustment range left. Bases with windage adjustment screws are a *big* help here.
Like I said, pretty involved ....
