    Nikolai sterling euro hunter niteater

    Would just like to say I'm very disappointed with this scope. Clarity and accuracy are fine but tried to zero in at 60yrds and I run out of clicks on the elevation turret and not even close it was dropping about 4" from bulls eye. So no going to try my ags colbolt to see if that's any better. Any advice greatly appreciated and its sitting on a BSA r10 mk2 in .22
    Thanks in advance.

    Use lowest mounts as poss to reduce distance between ret and centre of bore

    He's running out of 'up', not running out of 'down'.

    I always thought running lower mounts and packing rear mount would give you more up

    For shooting at long range, more scope height = less clicks of elevation required for a given distance... like lobbing a tennis ball over the net, you need a high line of sight to even see the POI... but then, you may be right, because more scope height requires more rear mount height in the first place... arrrrgh, my brain hurts!!

    I also have a 6x24X56 Nighteater and have used it zeroed from 10 Yards to 50 without any problems with the elevation turret. I normally zero the rifle @ 30 yards and at 80 yards it just needs about 5 mil dot correction shooting JSB EXACTs 8.44 gr.

    Scope shooting low

    hi if your scope is shooting low try putting a small piece of packing on the rear of the scope so it lies on the rear mount then lay your scope on it.i have
    had this problem in the past.i have found this works every time hope this helps you grev

    Exactly, I had to use 0.75mm thick piece of aluminium plate to properly zero my 6-24x Vector scope at 100M. Also, check your scope mounts. To me it sounds like there's something wrong with them if you ran out of adjustments at only 40 yards.

    Yes mostly I zero at 10X or at odd times at 12X just to land the exact distance markers on the mildots.

    Shim rear mount or use height adjustable mounts, like Sportsmatch ATP61

    For details, read here:

    (yes, I know it's a 2 yr-old thread, but the link will help others looking to deal with the same problem....)

    clicks

    you can get the adjustable scope mounts if you want to maximise your elevation on your scope.

    otherwise as has been said just use holdover with mill dots
