My *awesome* Grandpa just gave me his Remington 700 BDL .30-06!!

Oh yeah, I'm so cool.

It's the first rifle that I've owned, though I've shot many others.
Anyways, it has a Weaver scope. I don't know what kind, but I've never shot with a scope before. It's raised above the original sights on the rifle so I can still use them.
So, I'd really like some advice on how to use a scope. My husband has used a scope for a long time hunting, but isn't the best teacher. My Grandpa just told me to "look through the scope 'til you get it" and that doesn't seem to work. Any advice on techniques or just anything would be appreciated.
