    Question re zero

    Hawke Panorama 3-9x50, solidly mounted on PCP. Pellet hits centre at 30 yds but one inch to the left at 40 yds. I think the mounts are true is there any other likely culprit ?

    your views sought, thanks Steve

    What's it like at say 20 yards or a bit closer. Does it shoot off to the opposite side. Maybe the barrel has had a knock, if supported by a barrel band. Have you compared with another scope and mounts to see if the same happens.

    Slightly canted scope or rifle?

    All of the above.

    Would swapping the mounts over so dovetail clamp is on the side to see if the problem persists.

    Is the scope parallax adjustable? I've had scopes where the poi describes a circle as you adjust PA....
    Best Regards

    I've got some slug guns.
