Still wont zero so going back on Monday , hes really pi$$ed off. Shooting low at 90 yards so adjusted and ended up shooting 7 inches high ?? If it’s the same as the thermion scopes for zeroing the click values change dependent on the magnification your using… on one setting it might be 1/4 ma and and 1 ma per click. I can’t remember as it’s been a while since I zeroed mine but it sent me round the bend till I sussed out what was what. 3 Quote Link to post

Move the x and y coordinates on to point of impact and job done ...not for him Quote Link to post

I dont understand how mag makes any difference....the whole point of 1 shot zero is move the reticle on to point of impact....and job done. Hes tried 3 times to zero using 40 rounds and no further forward . Quote Link to post

Worth trying before sending back. 2 Quote Link to post

Dependent on mag they go up in .25 of min angle increments… just been saying to my lass about it cos if I was using shop ammo it would of cost me a fortune! It tells you click values in top right corner but it was hard for me to see it during the daylight when I did it Quote Link to post

Told him to try again and see if saved message appears ....if not maybe software problem. Quote Link to post

If he did it when it was one inch low and set it to one inch high.. 8 clicks at full value would of put it 7” high. if there was no horizontal drift then that’s the problem Quote Link to post

Moving it involves clicks be it digital clicks… click value can vary between .25-1/4” to 1/1” 1 Quote Link to post

He originally zeroed at 40yds , which is input in scope. Then when he changed it to zero at 100yds never changed the distance on the scope menu......doh. So will try again tomorrow and I reckon it will be right Quote Link to post
David.evans 5,323 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 It will be FH , pity he didn’t tell you that to start with and the scope will not show a tick when coming out of zero , just make sure he holds the knob in till the screen changes atb 1 Quote Link to post
FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Well he has eventually got the scope zeroed ....now just need to get out and see what it's like. 1 4 Quote Link to post
