Zero way off....
As stated it's like 4 revolutions of the turret off from when I first zeroed it at the range...........either I'm completely retarded or my scope went all crazy on me(I'm leaning towards the former). When I first zeroed it I only needed like .2 mil from all the way DOWN. I'm getting lost here, does going down on the scope actually lower my crosshairs or raise them?

Same ammo both times? If so, something moved, mechanically. Base tight? Rings tight?

Late reply. Yeah the base is tight, I even put some loc tite in there when I torqued it. Rings are tight as well. I'm thinking the range we were on at the positional clinic was not a hundred yards, I don't know. Frustrated with my lack of personal knowledge, need some training me think.

Four rev's off...........usually meets something is really messed up. If everything is tight (rings, base, action screws, etc)then do a tracking test on the scope.HeathenRifleman wrote:As stated it's like 4 revolutions of the turret off from when I first zeroed it at the range...........either I'm completely retarded or my scope went all crazy on me(I'm leaning towards the former).
