setting up scope

[wullieh 53]

my scope was zeroed in when i got the gun but now find it i aim the cross hair about 2" below target it norm hits the spot so question is do i adjust scope up or down and by how many clicks do i need to turn it.

Hi there

 

Have you changed pellets by any chance? I tried BizMags and found they dropped two inches or so lower than my normal pellets.

 

If you do need to adjust the scope to get the pellet to rise, you would turn the windage upwards usually marked by an UP and then an arrow.

How many clicks depends on the scope itself, some have more than or less than others.

Sounds like your point of impact is higher than your point of aim, you need to turn down, rather than up like phantom says. Think he misunderstood your thread mate.

Good going wullie, thats a good bag.

Its so easy to knock your scopes off zero, thats why youre always best to have a few shots at a target when you get to your permission just to be sure

dont talk to me about scopes!! tried to sort my map tonight and my scopemounts dont sit right on the dove tails and i didnt check before i got it all set up, nasty case of not being able to zero the thing after all...

i've put a bsa essencial on now cos i've proper mounts for that, hopefully get it zeroed tomorrow morning and then off to the new permission.

 

sorry for hijacking the thread, had to get that off me chest!!

 

all the best, wurz
