[QUOTE="green 788, post: 98677, member: 3781"] Before you send that scope back you may want to read the following article. There may be nothing wrong with the scope at all... [url="http://practicalrifler.6.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=38"]http://practicalrifler.6.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=38[/url] Basically, if you're dialed down low or way up high with the elevation, you will not have the normal amount of windage travel. You say you have 2 1/2 turns of windage adjustment, which would be at least 25 MOA I would think. That should be 12.5 MOA in each direction from center--which should be more than adequate to center windage if your base and rings are on straight. If your base and rings aren't straight, a possible solution would be to center the erector and switch to a windage adjustable base/ring set-up (like the Redfield JR type) and use this base to get the windage to a rough center. Or if you're using Weaver style rings you can sometimes correct an alignment problem by switching the rings, front to rear, and/or flip the rings. Dan [/QUOTE]
