Hiya Cam.

 

What a bummer mate.

 

Have you tried the obvious, and checked all the scope mount and ring screws are tight, and the rifles too?

 

Might be worth starting all over mate.

Take the scope off, wind the deflection turret all the way to the left or right, then wind back the other way, but this time carfully count the clicks might be 300 say ( Dont force the turret )Then, remount the scope on the rifle, correct eye relief, and level the cross hairs to the rifle.

Now wind your deflection turret count the clicks to half way, ie, if you had 300, turn to 150, that should centre the scopes reticule.

 

Start your zero at 10 mtrs or yds, and work your way back to 25/30 whatever your zero is.

 

You could also try another scope on the rifle to eliminate a broken scope

 

Is the rifle a PCP or Springer mate?

That doesnt sound good at all, on the plus side, its always nice buying new things and you can get some very good scopes for very little money these days.

 

Hope it all turns out OK.

Mate take the scope off the mounts,

 

Centre the scope turrets.

 

And then reverse the scope mounts.

 

It will be then fixed.
