[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 2920092, member: 16869"] Had a steady customer come in for a bore sight on a rifle/scope combination that he had mounted himself. Usually we would charge for mounting/bore sighting if they hadn't purchased one or the other at our store - but this person was a regular so said I would do it for free. While we were walking back to the shop I asked him what trouble he was having. "The elevation and windage adjustments aren't working right, when I move just one it moves the other one too." Yup, he had the scope mounted in the rings so the crosshairs were an 'X'. I politely and professionally with a forced deadpan expression explained what the trouble was as I adjusted everything. He paused, looked at me with a bewildered expression and said: "But when we were target shooting, all my buddies kept talking about how 'X' marks the spot." It was tough, but I managed to be professional. [/QUOTE]
