Thread: Ok Guys I have a problem

Ok I had a blonde moment at the range.

I should have turned the inside black peice with the tool provided but instead I turned the outer peice so once I put the turrets back on I had already used up my elevation. My bad!
All is well now Guys. Sorry for the false alarm he he

For what it's worth I take the turret off during zeroing as I has to be put back on lined up at the zero mark anyways

All sorted now.

Thanks everyone for your help

you can do the centre thing piece of piss wit ha collimetre/bore sighter...loosen rings and turn scope in them while looking through it...My .223 is plurry near dead on central...I believe its the scope base rail that helps with that.

An older mate told me and gave me the V block jig.

Problem is I fired at the target and it was just right of the target holder and low so I had to do around 30 clicks left and similar amount high to get it onto the bulls eye at 100 meters problem was it was now on full elevation so once turrets were added I could not adjust any higher.

100 meter 7mm rem mag

When I put the scope back on the riffle the bases were still on the riffle so I only had to put scope back on and tighten, eye relief good etc.

Have I overlooked something? or is there a problem with the scope? I would have thought it should just do up and maybe a slight adjustment.

What do you guys think? Any ideas?

A member on here ‘Tech’ is an expert at these Z5 turrets. Let’s see if he comments.

Not really applicable since the solution has been found but as a side note you can optically centre the scope prior to mounting by placing objective on a mirror (bathroom works for me) and you will be able to see two lots of reticles. Adjust as required to align both reticles. Or count clicks from absolute bottom to top (careful not to wind on too hard at the ends) divide by 2. First thing I do after buying a new scope is do the mechanical method then refine with the mirror. Tip for counting is pen and paper and make a mark every 10 or so clicks, tedious but I am OCD like that
