[QUOTE="pullemfar, post: 4324429, member: 8313"] Finally got out to the range Saturday. I did the recommended "factory mechanical reset" which is just bottoming out each turret and then run each all the way out while counting the clicks, then divide that by half and go back that many clicks, I call this a mechanical zero. Prior to doing that I just turned the turrets back and forth a few times. By doing that it suppose to loosen any gears, etc that may have been "over tightened". Well it worked like a charm. Initially, I was off the bottom of the paper about 3" and to the left about 2", so I was hitting the target frame. I made the needed adjustments and it put me 1/4" left of center, added one more click and that put it spot on. Once I got it on paper @ 25yds and dialed in, I took it on out to 50, see the results below. I'm shooting Eley 40gr HP Subs. I am sure a more competent shooter can get her tighter than that. I was shooting off my backpack, had it been in a vise, maybe I could've gotten a much better grp. That orange square in the center is 1/2", so I think Mister Tree Rat is in for a bad day. [/QUOTE]
