Al69ec 5 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I have a question regarding magnification. Does adjusting the mag alter or move poi? Reason I ask is when I zeroed my scope on x9 I them powered it right up to view target and after fireing to check again it was off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Froudy 40 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 It shouldnt move the point of aim but will if you use the mildots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deano88 9 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 What scope do you have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Al69ec 5 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hawke nite-eye. 3.5x10-50 it's seems to black out the reticule if I'm looking down the scope for to long as well. Shit optics???????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deano88 9 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Only reason for asking is I have an MTC genesis on my HMR and noticed the same thing. I put mine down to possible poor optics but for what I use it for, I now just leave it on 10x mag and just use mil-dots. In future I think I will just go for a fixed mag scope. Never had a Hawke scope but blackout can sometimes be if the scope is mounted too far forward or back on the rifle in relation to shooting position. May be worth having a play around with position before opting for a more expensive scope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shit optics???????? 2.5-10x50? Changing magnification should have no effect on POI, the target stays the same distance away so the bullet/pellet flight is the same, you just see a different sight pattern. Some cheaper or faulty scopes may have an issue here, but there is nothing wrong with the Nite-Eye scope as such! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pestcontrol121 11 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Try to zero in the scope on max power then turn the mag down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
