Thread: Zeroing a new scope ....

Hi All.

Just mounted my new Tasco 6-24 on my Ruger 1022.

I'm having difficulties zeroing it for 50 yards.

I placed a target out at 25 yards, and zeroed it on that. Nice tight overlapping 3 round groups, however, it needed a good few winds on the elevation adjustment to bring it to zero.

Moved the target out to 50 yards, and I can't zero it at 50 .. Its wound out to maximum "up" (see attached picture) but I still have to shoot 5 or so inches high to hit the bull.

I'm guessing at this point that I need to adjust the scope mounts in some way in order to rectify this and get it zeroed for 50 yards ?

Any advice would be greatfully received ...

Regards

Tim
