Scope question
Posted: Sat Jul 23, 2016 8:33 pm
I have been using the same rifle and scope for 2 years, CZ455 and Sightron 1/8 scope.
Recently I put some risers on the scope to get it higher.
When I went to the range to sight the scope in again I was surprised.
The scope had been set at zero for chickens, and for rams the setting was all the way up to zero again plus 2 clicks.
I am at the same range and same animal distances, so no change there, but the scope settings surprised me.
Yes, I was using a bench rest.
To hit the chickens, I had to go up to 2 on the turret (no big deal), so after checking the rest of the animals, I moved the turret so the chickens are again at zero.
I set the pigs and turkeys, but the setting for the rams now is at 6. The turret has numbers from 0 (zero) to 7.
How could the settings be so different? What could cause this?
Thanks
