Don't force it first of all.

 

Remove the scope and check the mounts are seated correctly.

 

Then re set the scope up.

 

Be careful thou you might find the round goes high or low.

 

Failing that the scope is knackered.

I BOUGHT THE SCOPE 4 WEEKS AGO AND HAVE BEEN HAVING TO RESET IT EVERY TIME I WENT OUT WHICH HAS BEEN ABOUT 5 TIMES IN FOUR WEEKS AND AT LEAST 4 BOXES WHICH IS WAY TO MUCH IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN I WIND IT IT DOWN AND DO IT AGAIN SINCED IT WONT LET ME GO HIGHR THAN 50 YARDS AS IT IS WOUND UP ALL THE WAY

[shropshire dan 467]

I'd wind it all the way down and start again mate. Failing that try some higher mounts

You may need to shim the scope up. First set it back to half way on the turrets. Then shim the

Back up.

If the scope is a cheapie or damaged it could be that the kick that knocks it out

Yes mate count the clicks and center it but that will not zero it to your gun trial and error needed. Make sure the mounts are not overtightened on the scope or this will proper do it in but not too loose. Also make the mounts really tight on the gun. If you are having issues with it not keeping zero and the mounts are tight it can only be either it's fooked or ya gun is

what from a .22 rf? shim the scope, if it wont hold zero after you have done that, change the mounts, if it still wont its Donald ducked.

Use anything that is thin to shim, most people use old negative film or something similar

[Cliff Ray 185]

Try adjusting the scope in lower case......

Photo film or stuff like is perfect if you can't reach zero but please tell me how this will stop a scope LOSING zero??

[Blackbriar 8,568]

If it keeps losing zero, after you've set it up, surely the scope is moving during firing?
