Anyone know about rifle scopes

no way should the crosshairs even be slightly wonky, dont even try and fix it yourself, just send it back. Any abnormality in that area will affect everything.

See a Doctor.

No medical threads.

Once it's fixed use your friend as a moving target to test the 'callibration' like in The Jackal

All he should have to do is undo the mounting rings, rotate the scope and then tighten them up again. Anything other than this probably means the scopes buggered.

I can't believe it was that simple lol, came to unscrew one of the screws and it was already loose :rolleyes:

Cheers guys!

Same here, if it was mounted wrong surely you would have noticed the scope was just mounted wrong straight away :confused:

Just out of interest....
My Company is a distributor in the UK for 'Simmons' Scopes as well as the 'Weaver' & 'Redfield' brands.

We import and distribute to gun dealers etc. Did you buy your scope in the UK? What type is it exactly? Do you have your warranty card still as Simmons are covered by a limited lifetime warranty.

Cheers,

pfffft. Carl Z. >* tbh

Unless you get a lightening bug in it, and it walks around while you're trying to hit something .
