[QUOTE="DMCI, post: 17821, member: 1730"] This is a fairly common problem. Let me quote this: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR> I also learned a new trick. With the scope in the rings, loosen the rings from the scope. Rotate it left and right. Watch the reticle center. If it swings back and forth in an arc, adjust the windage, and elevation knobs until you are rotating the scope, and the center of the scope stays centered, and does not arc. This is your natural mechanical zero. This technique is faster than 'counting clicks', and works well. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> This procedure will help you find the mechanical center of the scopes travel. Then you will know where you are with respect to the mounting of the scope. Once you have it centered, then you need to bore sight it. This can be done by removing the bolt and looking alternately through the scope and the bore and getting the same picture for both. Good luck. D. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
