| I bought a Leopold scope for my AR15 and mounted it. It works fine but the cross hairs are rotated 30 degrees to the left. How do I fix it? Thanks for any input. |
unless he means that the cross hairs are rotated inside the scope with a level scope body, but even then he would either have to rotate the scope since he needs to be sighting with the hairs and not the scope body or send it back |

It's a Leupold; mounted by the gunsmith at the store I bought it from. It is a good scope and very accurate and after a while I got used to having the crosshairs off by 30 degrees. But it is much nicer to have it right(so that my friends at the range no longer laugh when they look through it). I know my question was stupid but I remember one of the instructors who gave the course for concealed handguns saying, there are no stupid questions, only stupid people who don't ask when they have a question(or something like that). I only started shooting a couple of years ago but I am having fun and learning something new each time I go to the range. This site is also a valuable source of knowledge for me and I appreciate it very much and don't mind being called an idiot(I am married with teenagers so I am used to it). I very much appreciate the advice as it fixed my problem. In my opinion no question is too stupid to be asked or answered. One gets to know that teaching medical students and residents in anesthesiology where the wrong move can kill the patient. I am always happy when my residents ask stupid questions; its better than not asking them at all and screwing up and killing the patient. |

OK, well now for a slight hijack. I have an older Burris Compact Scope that DOES have the crosshairs about 10 degrees out of plumb. Judging by the adjustment turrets, the crosshairs are NOT centered on them. Since I doubt they can be fixed at home, one of these days I may contact Burris to get it fixed. Oh, yeah. IBTL Since this ought to go in Optics....  Lonny |
