I'm an iron-sighter, always have been from .22's to 30-06's. But, I got the reloading disease and everyone says in order to really rate your reloads, you NEED a scope. Hmmph, ok. I put a BEC Gold Label 3-12x 44mm lighted recticle (parallax adjustments) on top of an A2 carry handle AR 20"....the iron sights are set dead-on accurate. I sight the scope in at the 25yd range....pretty cool, shots going thru the same hole. Then I try my hand at the 100yd range. Oops....the shots are grouping waaaaay high...like 12-15'' high. Question: does this mean that the scope would be zeroed for 300yd , just like zeroing iron sights. Or does is the parallax adjustment supposed to keep it zeroed at different distances? Remember now, I'm new at this glass thing....and know its not a Leupold.. so go easy. I wouldn't know an ACOG from a Cogswell Cog, ok. |

A couple other things. Grouping high is probably exaggerated by the scope being so high above the bore. With some of the more inexpensive scopes, recoil can click your scope turrets. I was trying to sight in a Blazer scope. I would get it set, but the bullets would always return to the same spot. The adjustments I made kept backing themselves out. |
