Recently no matter how many clicks I turn the adjustment screws the shooting point does not change. Is there an internal stop or what am I doing wrong. Thanks   Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2012 6:59 pm oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA It sound like your scope has given up. You can try taking it apart, but you problably will have to replace it. Hopefully you can get it to work, but I doubt that will happen.

Even though the screws don't work I wouldn't take the scope apart because you'll release the inert gas from it and it will easily fog up. How does the rifle shoot without the scope? I once had a crappy air rifle that shot so far to the left that the scope wouldn't zero in. Scopes usually have a range of movement. _________________ Benjamin NP Trail (0.22) SIG Sauer X-Five Open (0.177) Marksman 1792 (0.177) Crosman 3576 (0.177) Crosman 1377 (0.177) Elite II (0.177)   Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2012 9:20 pm MrChips New Member Joined: 24 Jun 2011 Posts: 7 Location: San Tan Valley AZ Range of movement, that was what I was looking for. Think I need to remove and remount the scope and see if that helps. And or adjust it in the opposite direction to see if the strike point changes. And try it out while the scope to off to check your suggestion. Thanks HH SureShot_ca wrote: MrChips wrote: Any suggestions on taking it apart?

Your attempting to re-center the scope. Then, take a small piece of soft wood and gently tap the tube. Your trying to release any tension on the internal springs by doing this. You knows... maybe it works! _________________ RWS 350 Mag .22 Leapers 3-12X40 Gamo Shadow .177 Benjamin Discovery .22   Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 8:42 am radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA I don't have a Beeman RS2/1073 dual caliber anymore, but I still have the scope. It's really a nice unit for cheap. No trouble with it so far at all. I am going to use it on a QB78. I hope its a simple fix for ya. If not, well, you gave it a try. Not an expensive replacement, at least. _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 9:15 am garththomas Veteran Member Joined: 12 Jan 2012 Posts: 165 Location: Ontario, Canada Are you trying to adjust elevation, if so you may be compensating for barrel droop and if thats the case then you will have to compensate by shimming your mounts. If you want to rezero your scope take it off and set it on end on a mirror, look through, then adjust till the two crosshairs are aligned . If you can't adjust then the scope is pooched if not then try shimming for the droop and continue sighting in. Worked for me. _________________ QB57 Backyard Sweeper   Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 7:27 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA garththomas wrote: ...If you want to rezero your scope take it off and set it on end on a mirror, look through, then adjust till the two crosshairs are aligned...
