Windage adjustments?

[slipschnitz]

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

Forgot to say, there was no wind what so ever!

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.

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.)

Thanks for all your advice! Problem now sorted!

Can you explain what was the problem?
Maybe the "figure 8" in the s410?

Sounds like a canted scope to me.

It could be that, if your zero is one 32"out at 25Yards,the further out you shoot the greater the drift off target the point of impact will be.Rod.

zero for 45 or 55 use the mill dot on your scope to under stoot at closer ranges?, 1/32 of and inch would take a microscope and the target to spot!
