Some scopes (no matter the type) can be a little tight on the inside. You can make an adjustment on the dials, but it won't really "take" on the inside on the crosshairs until the jolt/jar/shock of a shot/discharge. The way to get around this is after you make an adjustment, just give a tap or two on the scope to jar it a little to settle everything in on the inside. The pocket knife I carry is a Gerber and has rubber inlays on each side of the handle. After I make an adjustment on a scope, I'll give the barrel of the scope a couple of taps with the handle of the knife to make sure everything settles where it's supposed to on the inside.

BUT...... If your scope is truly messed up, there's not much you can do about it except replace it.

Good advice!

well got new scope on and sighted in today,took first shot then another before making any adjustments,after adjustment i taped the scope and took a shot fallowed by another and it seemed to move by the second shot and when i kept hitting the same spot i called it a day.all shots were at 20yds. thanks for the help!

i taped the scope and took a shot

What are you taping?? I've read this in another thread where someone said I taped the scope.

[Ont_Excal]

I think what he is saying is that he tapped the scope as per 58's instructions from a post above.

Ohhhh lol ok, makes sense now, I was not making fun of the spelling, but I read a post not long ago mentioning the exact same thing and could not for the life of me figure out what had to be taped, I thought there was some new trick I did not know lol
