    Windage adjustments?

    I've just started long range shooting again and i've been practicing range finding and subsequent windage/elavation adjustments. What i've noticed is that at 25yds i have a perfect zero. However as i increase the range the shot will be 1/2" too the right every time i increase the range by 10yds?! Have i a got a problem with scope alignment issue?

    Thanks,

    Kev

    something wrong somewhere...im assuming you barrel isnt like a side ways banana?...didnt think so...only advice i can give is to optically center the scope and shim the mount clamps and try again...

    What scope is it ?

    Does it shoot left below the 25yd yard, if not that'll eliminate the mythical crossover

    could be px error, are you adjusting the px to suit the range assuming the scope has this feature

    try a further zero and see if this happens past that, lots of variables, posting your full combo and ammo choice may give us an idea.
    Don’t you find it Funny that after Monday(M) and Tuesday(T), the rest of the week says WTF?

    My set up:

    AA S410 - .177
    Scope - Falcon Menace 4x14x44
    Pelets - AA Fields

    My scope does have px adjustment and to be honest i have no idea how to use it properly. And when i was adjusting over the different ranges i wasnt doing anything to the px.

    And no the poi was dead centre on my 25yd zero.

    The parallax displacement is eliminated by adjusting the front ring on your sight until the target is in focus at the highest magnification possible.

    You then set the magnification at whatever you desire.

    At the set range if you have your head/eye in slightly the wrong position, the crosshairs will still be on target. (parallax error eliminated.)
