is the elevation turret supposed to set a little to the right? when crosshairs are straight the turret leans to the right.

This demonstrates a manufacturing defect. A competently built scope will have the cross-hairs aligned with the vertical and horizontal axes of the turrets. I would recommend returning any scope that came like that, for a full refund.

It will vary a little from scope to scope due to manufacturing variations. It really isn't important as to accuracy that they be exactly the same. The main thing is that the rifle itself is level (not canted). What I do is (using little bubble levels such as Wheeler sells) get my rifle perfectly level and then get my horizontal reticle roughly level to match (by sighting it on a target line that you know is level). Again, the most important thing by far is that the rifle is level.

I have the same problem. I tried hard to find out the solution for this problem and regretfully gave up. We should write a letter to the manufacturer about it. What I have done is to by myself a scope so the front sight misalignment does not interfere with my shooting.

My reticle is a bit oblong, also. I can't answer if this is typical of this model it but doesn't bother me or my shooting.

It sits great. Problem is mine came canted. Checked on my WASR and Arsenal on both canted to the right same angle . I bought it to use with red dot so was able to fix it with that. I saw some people were complaining about rail being canted. I guess just my luck. Otherwise it sits nice and snug , very low above dust cover and holds zero. I hope that was helpful

2 things I found that the scope had loosened up a bit and changed the angle used lock tite on it and works fine. I use the same crosshare for both 20 and 30 yards with hardly any change

There is some truth to this. The sight you mount to this rail may not be perfectly aligned with the centerline of the barrel once the rifle is rotated. This means that the center of the sight will be to the left or the right of the centerline of the barrel. When you zero the sight make sure that you take this offset into account. For example, if the sight is mounted .5" to the left of the bore center, then make sure that the point of aim (dot) is also .5" to the left of the actual target impact point. If you don't do this, your horizontal zero will be valid for only the distance at which you set the zero since your point of aim will not be parallel to the bore. There is some truth to this.

When you open the box,this scope is sighted in to be almost dead center. I still have my scope and have had no issues with it.

Nah, just uses a pinpoint of light in the spotting scope to show where you're aiming. IMHO, they tried to force an advancement on the old crosshairs system and it just isn't worth the trouble. It doesn't align as easily as crosshairs and is more difficult to aim with, which means it's a step back for the only two purposes it serves.

The turret on the left side is to adjust for parallax. The practical use of it for most shooters is to adjust the focus for the distance at which you are aiming, but it also helps to eliminate aiming errors by making the image from the objective lens coincide with the reticle.

When I first got mine I thought the reticle was moving around on me as I moved my head around but once I flipped up my iron sights that cowitness with the reticle I realized it wasn't moving all that much. In order for it to really affect me I'd need to shoot from an awkward position so I haven't had an issue with it yet

Mickey, I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you using the elevation and windage adjustment knobs to adjust up/down and left/right? If you're trying to do that and it's not moving, you probably have a defective scope. I had that problem with another brand, and had to return the scope. Another problem that could cause the adjustment knobs to not work is for a rail/ring connection to be off. Check to make sure all rings and riser rails are set properly on the picatinny (or Weaver) rails.

Yes, this can be set up for flipping to the right. After I did this to mine, I noticed my Vortex SPARC was not aligned correctly. I rotated the SPARC's base and now everything is aligned perfectly. I really like this set-up (on my Colt 6920), especially during low light hog hunts.

I had no issues with mine. I have had that issue with other rifle scopes. I lightly tapped on the turret with my multitool. Sometimes reticles get stuck. Lightly tapping will jar them loose. If that does not work...exchange it.

Yes there is barrel droop, I have my elevation turret adjusted almost all the way up and I have shims in my rear scope rings but after all that it shoot very strong and is very accurate

Absolutely not. Make sure that your line of sight is inline with the scope and not shifted to a side. Also do not focus on the triangle, focus on the target itself. If that doesn't work the sight could simply be defective. Don't get discouraged with the product, when functioning properly it is hands down one of the best out there. Hope this helps.. Michael

I mounted that exact set-up and had good results. It depends a bit on the iron sights, but if you're using the stock sights then it should be no problem.

It's poss. mine shoots to the left and down a bit. have Green dot locked in at 300ft group of about 2inch. also would need to turn down feed action to slowfiring rate a bit or just go full auto for fun...lol
