My rifle scope shoots to much to the right. What am I doing wrong?
My .223 rifle scope shoots to much to the right. I can not adjust anymore to the left. I am using a zeiss conquest 6.5-20X50 rifle scope. At just 25 yards, i am shooting 3 inches to the right. I have tried other distances such as 50 yards. I have an "elevated" scope mount to allow long range shooting. Please list all possible things that I could be doing wrong.
First thing to do is check your mounts. Are they tight? Then try tightening the screws in a different sequence. Tighten front mount screws then rear mount. Then tighten rear mount screws first, then the front mount screws. Sometimes the tightening sequence can have an impact. Then try putting a shim in your mount-something thin like a piece of aluminum foil. It won't be noticeable and if it moves the scope enough your problem is solved. Try shimming the front on one side, then the other. If it is extreme, you might shim the front scope on the right and the rear scope on the left. Or reverse. The idea, of course, is to keep experimenting until you get it right. Takie your screwdrivers and plenty of ammo to the range, set up your target at 25 yards, and shoot away. If nothing seems to work, then try a gunsmith. This is one of those problems I hate to spend money on a gunsmith to solve if I can figure it out for myself. Experiment and see what happens. There is the possibility your scope is simply out of alignment. Good luck with this.
