my first gun with a problem

[brecon3 13]

hi guys on saturday i bought my first air rifle from my local gun shop

a week earlyer i had got i looking for the bsa super sport but they dident have it in so they said that they were getting a new batch in by next saturday so we went back

but they had sold out and the nearest thing that they had to it was the bsa lightning xl

it was £285 but because he dident have the gun i was after he gave it to me for £225 and the scope was £50 but he gave it to me for £30

but the promlem started with the scope as it is my first gun i dont know how to zero it in

i did have a ruff idea and allmy shots keep going down and left so i tryed to make it go up and right

but the turrets will only turn so far and wont go any ferther and it would go as far up and right as i need it

so if any of you know what im doing wrong please let me know

 

thanks

It is very difficult to tell Remotely..but it could be several things...the solution is simple...1 week old..take it all back to the dealer and ask him to sort it

I agree with deker and sean, If your not that confident with zeroing in then I would take the gun back ask them to check it and also to zero it if possible. Good luck mate!!!!
