Question

this is on a gamo .177 it hits consistent but to low and the up adjustment is all the way up?

Answer 1

i have the same problem with my remi .223...the scope is adjusted to the max and it still shoots about a six inches low at 100 yds...and about the same at 150yds...i wasted about 40 rounds trying to adjust it...even using the bore sight to adjust it had about the same type of distance...i tried sliding the scope around..but that didnt help...i just gave up and left the gun in the case and havent touched it since.....might need to buy a new scope....  

Answer 2

Remove the front shim, put it under the back of the scope, then resight it.  

Answer 3

You need to shim the back of the scope to raise the point of impact. Shimming the front will make it even lower.

Answer 4

Air rifle - Your problem is known as "barrel droop" - Adjustable mounts, are the solution

Answer 5

There is no damage or misalignment to the scope or mount? The rifle barrel is not bent?

Answer 6

probably bad scope mounts.

The scope mounts are not adjustable are they?
