feel free to direct me to any links/earlier posts on this subject if they're out there...

Bought an AR a few weeks ago (pics later) and have had a .22LR plinker for a while, and have pretty nice scopes on both of them, and for the life fo me I can't get them zeroed. A few random questions...

-when you zero at 100yds, does the power of the scope have to be all the way down? Ex, if I am trying to zero at 100 and have the scope turned to full power, will the zero be high?

-I hate going to the range and spending teh first 30 minutes effing around trying to get the scope right, and probably because I'm new and therefore suck at it, I'm never able to get the crosshairs right, so I spend the entire afternoon basically wasting ammo and not improving. If cost is no object, could I pay to get something of superior quality that I could attach, get zeroed once, and then forget about it? Or is that just not the way scopes work, do they have to be constantly adjusted and tuned?

Any basic knowledge for a newbie to scopes and boresighting would be greatly appreciated.
