stealthy1 3,964 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I had this with a scope after a knock, I thought it was f**ked, a mate told me to take off the mounts and then remount the scope with the same mounts, and it worked, it may not with yours, but its a money saver if it does Quote Link to post

darren watson 14 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 a bit of folded green card out the back of a rizla packet placed on the mounts under the front of the scope! Quote Link to post
Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi Jam1. Had to pack my mounts too, used the plastic off an old ice cream tub Pack the REAR mount only ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post
paulxpalir 0 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 check the barrel band for movement and the silencer for signs of the pellet clipping!! good luck! Quote Link to post
billbroon 9 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 re-center the crosshair then try again. Just count the clicks till your back at start then click back till your half way then thats it centered ! Quote Link to post
Buster321c 1,010 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 As said you`ll need to center the scope . Use a `V` block to put it in - put the scope in it and set the croos hairs on something about 20 yds away . Slowly turn the scope through 180 degrees . You will see the crosshairs move in an arc . Adjust the turrets untill the crosshairs do not move and stay in the center . Thus `Optically centered ` . Once you have it centered , its the perfect beginning . Try zeroing and if its still well low swap the front mount for teh back one , as im lothe to `shim ` mounts . Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I shimmed using the top "foil" from a 4 pint milk container (well it was all they had available down the range)! Well it did work! Quote Link to post
