turbo33 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 2 different gun same problem 2 sets of diffrent scopes both guns have been took to the shop and both of them are fine its some tihng to do with the scopes but both are brand new and both diffrent makes of scopes Right. Two different guns, with different scopes. But the same problem with each of them. Take this as constructive criticism. Evidently it is pilot error. If you are happy that they are bang on when you set them up and then change when you get to the "field" obviously something has changed. Its either they are getting knocked about in transit or you are adjusting something when you get there. If you alter the magnification, you will change the aim points. (your post 5) If you add/remove a bipod/moderator or rest the barrel on something at the field this will change your zero. If you clamp a light to your scope, you will change your zero. In post 12, you said "...yards away on a post then i put a pillow down and got steady as a rock and fired 4 shots they were a little high so i moved them 8 clicks right>> then fired another 4 they needed 2 left.." Are you sure you understand what your turrets do? Set it up as follows. Put the base of the mounts on the rifle and tighten. Rest the scope in the cradles. Put the tops of the mounts on and little by little tighten all the screws sufficiently enough to stop the scope moving. Make sure the cross hairs are absolutely perpendicular/horizontal with a plumb line. Do not overtighten them. If you rush this sequence, you could distort the scope tube. After you have zero'd the rifle treat it like an unexploded bomb!! Any knock butt,scope,barrel etc will more than likely throw the zero off. Understand your trajectories and range finding. You have two very good set ups there, theres nothing wrong with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Parallax error ? Make sure that your view through the scope in consistent, with an even amount or black ring around the picture. Focus the scope on the target so that the crosshairs don't move when you adjust your head position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchy Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 right they are fully mounted i dont clamp noting to my scope and erm it was some thing to do with the mounts because i put them back on and set them up i no how to set scopes and i set them up in the field i go shooting in and i did it yesterday i woke up took my gun out side and they are bang on they r fine i fired 25 shots and in the size of a 10p peice they are crack on but a little low my scopes are maxxed out at around 30 yards though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In post 12 you said your poi was high at 35 metered yards :unsure: I have lost the will to live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineshooter Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 just a thought, did you centralise the crosshairs before fitting the scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAD1927 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 just a suggestion as you say you lie down to zero if you shoot uphill or down your poi will be different due to tragectory might I suggest you try to imitate your shooting stance whilst hunting.

ant.mass Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 ive mentioned the mounts twice they are theoben esentionals or summit they only go on one way like the screw goes through the mount and on top of the gun is just me but looking as your 1st pic your barrel looks like its hitting the bottle on the gun and have you shot the gun without the Silencer on as my mate had the same sort of thing and the pellets was clipping the Silencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchy Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 nah mate its fixxed erm no theres an even space between barrel and bottle and no its not clipping my mates was when we were shooting in the dark like we were in shaddows and rabbits were under my house light like security light he shot and there was a few sparks coming out o the barrel but there was no noise or anything to sugest it was hitting just sparks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
