zeroing the scope

Subject: zeroing the scope Mon Jan 19, 2009 11:12 am

I just got a new scope for my UTG M324 gen3 rifle, and I am having trouble zeroing it in. Both the elevation and windage knobs have been turned to their limt, and my rifle is still shooting low and to the left. the good news is that it is a mil - dot scope, and therefore I can compensate by aining 3 dots to the left, and 4 dots down. any advice?

Factory defect. You may want to send it back and get a new one because it isn't working the way it should. Its kinda like buying a new gun it says it will shoot 400 fps then when you get it it shoots 200 fps. If it isn't working the way it should then you shouldent have to waist your money on it.

Unless he does know how to zero it and it is just that the scope doesnt work right but you may want to follow L_W and see if he isn't right about that. I was going on you knew how to zero it and it was just broken or something.

this has happened with another scope on this gun before. I just wouldnt adjust any more to where it needed to go.

well screwing the knobs ALL THE WAY in is not zero'ed in...

Those knobs represent declination.

no what I mean is that the shot is going down and to the right. my scope won't adjust any more down nor any more to the right. the Knobs are at their limit and will pop off if forced to turn any more

Try going online and learning how to zero a scope them maybe it would work better and it would be easier for you to zero in the scope.

sorry, I meant left instead of right on that last post

Subject: Re: zeroing the scope Mon Jan 19, 2009 9:18 pm

no this means your scope declination is too low. What range are you firing from?

Subject: Re: zeroing the scope Mon Jan 19, 2009 9:36 pm

I was firing from about 20 ft. and good news! I finally zeroed it in! apparently, the manufacture had mislabeled the knobs, so the elevation Knob was labeled as windage, and vice-versa.

ah OR you could have put it in sideways...lol

i have a cheap scope that does that too. but its a bummer.

Subject: Re: zeroing the scope Mon Jan 19, 2009 10:29 pm

well, I think there is a possibility of it being on sideways Lol. And in case you guys were wondering, the scope is a golden image 4x32 scope that I got for $25 of of shortyUSA

Well the right way is to have the declination on the TOP and the windage to the right side.

check your scope holders to ensure the scope is properly fixed on your rifle bridge, good luck!
