Zeroing Scope problems CA36

[HeadlessChicken]

After a month, I finally got a battery and charger for my Classic Army CA36. Did some test firing and tried to zero my scope. I was only firing at maybe just shy of 10 feet since I was doing so in my room but the I can't get the horizontal to line up, fires too far to the right. I've tried adjusting but its already all the way and the screw/pin won't go any further. This a common problem? Do I have a lemon? Any work around on this? Its the stock 1.5x scope and handle, I haven't done anything to the rifle yet. Seaches here and google hasn't found anything.

I didn't have any issues zeroing mine. I'd check your barrel alignment.

try zeroing your scope at longer ranges , your scope is for distance shooting not for shooting 10 feet away. maybe adjust hop up slightly so bb doesnt curve so much down at 10 feet .

Try digging your nail into the rim of the scope (not the handle that houses it) and pulling it to the right, while at the same time tightening the vertical adjustment screw downwards. That should lock the scope further to the right, it's what I did when I had a CA36.

As said before,

u do not do range tests at under 10 feet.

ur scope sipmly will NOT allign eith the barrel even at 15 feet.

try 20 feet.

Guys, he can't get the windage to line up. That's horizontal, so we're not talking about the issue with the scope and barrel being on two different elevations.

If it's not lining up at 10' horizontally, it's going to line up even less at 30'.

Try turning the windage screw the other way all the way and see if that makes a difference. Windage on scope can be a little confusing, is the windage moving the point of aim within the scope (the reticle, in which case the PoI will end up being the opposite, move right and the PoI moves left), or is it moving the Point of Impact? Give turning it he other way a try, could just be a common problem that is easily fixed by changing the mindset about the way the adjustment screw work.

You can zero a scope at any feet you want and any distance, it doesn't matter. It depends where you shoot the most, so that's where you zero it.

If you zero it at one distance, firing a shot at a longer or under range will not be correct.

There's a sample picture that shows you the line of the bullet and the vision of the eye.

Same thing goes with lasers.

Was thinking of doing that but was afraid of damaging it. As for turning it all the way right, I did so to the point where the pin that adjusts the scope fell out. I'll try the other way though just to be sure but I probably won't have time till later in the week.
