[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 595554, member: 9253"] It probably is moving that far. If the reticle is rotated a small amount with respect to the direction the scope's knobs are oriented what else could it do? It's not something you can "align out" by rotating the whole scope. Your choices are to live with it or return the scope to the manufacturer with a description of the "problem" The maximum acceptable reticle rotation angle is not specified for any scope I've seen, but that angle which should be undetectably close to zero is determined during manufacture. A reputable scope manufacturer should re-align or replace it. There are other possible scope problems which aren't specified but can be a problem, like the elevation and windage adjustments not being orthogonal to each other or the clicks not producing uniform movement over the range of adjustment.
