ShootingEgg Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Would taking the two AA batteries out of the site take the zero out? Mate sited it on Sunday and grouping was inside 10p piece, took it out tonight and couldn't hit a barn door.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought id try so i put cross hair on body of a bunny. And the bunny didn't even react... Have done a bit of googling and seems its not uncommon for them to do this..

ShootingEgg Posted January 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 We put out a cardboard box with logo on. I aimed centre of logo, not a mark on the box.. Yet three days before the groupin was fine. Have told him to re mount scope, make sure uts tight and re zero. Then test again.. Have spoken with the shop where bought and with the supplier direct so have some options if it is playing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetop Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Is it a standard unit or did you fit a doubler on it ? Are you using the same box of ammo ? Moderator done up ? Scope mounts tight ? All these things could throw a spanner in the works ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts tightened, scope back on and tightened. So we shall see. I think it will be mount not fully tightened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 My photon used to lose zero when the batteries were removed , strangely it seemed to lose zero by more each time , I spoke to scotts country and they sent a courier for it , a few days later a new one arrived, well it looked like a new one , it may have been my old one but the software had definitely been changed.
