Heladoxa Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 wotcha sapper. I know what you mean, I get senior moments. too. When I take the protective cap off the up/down. left/right controls there is a little arrow engraved UP, and on the other, an arrow engraved R, (for right). I thought most scopes had that. except the ones from the £1 shop. Could also be that you are zeroed in OK. but the range is too far and the shots are dropping. Does that help?

sapper063 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 yep mine has an R on it but does that mean if i follow what arrow says it should bring it to the right ie it will shoot further to the right o crikey im losing it dur ill be alright sunday when ive had my medicine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 is it too hard to try it out on paper to see where you're hitting and then make any adjustments where you can see the difference they make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plinker Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 check all your mounts are tight,if it still not right you need to find someone who knows what they are doing to sort it out for you, personally if i could not zero a rifle i would give up shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plinker Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 like i said check your mounts ,people are trying to help you here you know. i suggest you get help with your rifle if you dont know the basics. zeroing a rifle is basic.dur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heladoxa Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hello Sapper, Here's a possible reason why you are spot on at a paper target but miss in the field. Do you hold the rifle in the same way for both jobs. For example if you bench rest it for zeroing, but fire freehand in the field you will probably get a difference. Therefore, say, zero with a bipod, shoot with a bipod. Does this help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heladoxa Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Sapper, what does DUR mean? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper063 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 hi heladoxa first DUR has several meanings in the context i said it (its not hard is it) and i used bipod each time its one of those things which you do hundreds of times ie zeroing then for some reason your mind goes blank i will get it sorted thanks for input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 As I said earlier, if you hit poa at the point of zero and miss up the side of shorter and longer targets (hold over/under) your scope is canted over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heladoxa Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hello sapper, You're having a blank moment with zeroing, I'm having a blank moment with DUR. You know, I don't. What does DUR mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 put 5 or 6 targets out at different intervals, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 yards, then aim for the bull on each one, fire a 5 round group at each target with no hold over, etc, and see where theyre hitting. if the ones at, say 50, are dead on, but the ones before it are too the right, and the ones after it are to the left, id say the scope is twisted, so check all mounts. ps - simplest way i ever found to see what way the turret works is put the rifle on a bipod , aim at something and start twisting the turret one way as far as possible, keep watching through the scope to see what direction it moes, then score a mark on the turret to remind yourself. it REALLY knocks off your zero but it works :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
