Scope Crossover

[angrybear]

Hi all well I've just put a new set of Sportsmatch mounts on the gun ( TO6C ) you know the proper one's for my R10 and I seem to have a bit of crossover bang on at 35yd but the near zero it is shooting left about 1/2"-3/4" any idea's how I correct it.....cheers

1/2-3/4" out from 11yds to 35yds is a hell of a lot, if it was the scope mounts you'd be able to see that much off just by looking at them

First thing I'd try is once the target is out use a spirit level to draw an exactly horizontal &/or vertical line on the target & line them up with the reticle when shooting to eliminate cant.

Hi bear

All good advice it happened to me I phoned hawke up and asked them I was told to wind out fully both scope turrets all the way out and all the way back do this to both turrets on 4th time count number of clicks or turns when you reach the full extent.
Which was say 90 clicks turn back half way on both turrets aparently it's call centring the scope it worked for me p's you will need to re zero after this
The only other thing I can think of would would be we you are zeroed at your given range after adjusting for parlex while looking at cross hairs move your head to right and left if you have parlex scope correctly the cross will remain steady if it moves slightly you have
Parlex error so adjust parlex till there is no movement when you move your head job done you should get no cross overs

Last week a guy had a similar problem, it turned out that the front mount had the clamp plate on upside down. I spotted this when I looked at the clamp vee against the fixed vee on the mount body they were not the same height. Which made the front mount lean off centre when fixed to the rifle, check your mounts.

Sorted....didn't know at the time the new mounts that I bought Sportsmatch T06C were about 3mm higher than the old mounts that i'd been using (Medium) and my head wasn't aligned correctly now got the old one's back on been out today to rezero and back to bang on, didn't know how little could throw it out that much....cheers
