samboy Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Hi gang. I took my S410 with a Simmons Aetec scope to the range to zero the scope in. It was very cold but the first few shots were perfect. Then it warmed up and the pellets were at least 4" adrift. The rangemaster said it was the hot and cold weather that was causing the reticle to fluctuate. Does this sound right as i can't recall it happening before. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds drastic tbh 🤔 Fired first few off at 30yds all ok, Next few at 25yds 4" shift to the right. Adjusted the scope and all ok again.

Could you have accidentally 'knocked' the scope slightly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
