Yes plenty of advice.

Whenever you are required to go into troubleshooting mode, it is super important that you follow a linear approach and do as @grandpamac says, only change one thing at a time and test. If the result remains constant with the change, then you put the rifle back into exactly the same state as it was before, and repeat with the next change & test.

When I have had this kind of problem I have written down my test procedure in logical steps, starting with simplest check and progressing through in ascending order of complexity.

Doesn’t matter whether it’s an inaccurate rifle or fixing the lawnmower or troubleshooting a problematic engine, a linear path and logic will find the problem eventually.

Because you need to fire the rifle after every change to test it, you will need a well thought out plan with all the tools and alternative accessories, so you can make changes where ever you are doing the shooting. I find it much easier to diagnose something if I can go through the process in one hit. Nothing more frustrating than having to go backwards and forwards to a range for every minor change.

PM sent with a question about the scope you bought secondhand.
