Hello,
I have a silver back tac 41 p.
The guns fine, shoots straight and does not curve.
I have hawke eclipse and some cheap scope rings.
The scopes windage is as far right as it can go but the bb is still a couple pips still to the right of the main cross hair.
Can anyone recommend a scope mount which pushes the entire scope more to the right and then it will be zeroed properly or is there a shimming technique which is possible?
Thanks
 
You could try shimming the scope rings against the rail.

In this case a strip of paper or similar between the side of one of the clamps.

The left hand side if you're on the front ring, opposite for the rear ring.
 
Are the scope rings mounted straight? I've had it before where at first they look to be mounted straight but on closer inspection aren't. If they're ok then as above.

Look quite straight to me I have tried mounting them all different ways but still have no effect ill try shimming and get back to the forum.
 
Shimming hasn't worked. Does anyone have a lonk to a scope mount that moves left to right?
 
That's exactly what shimming would do, pop some iron sights on the rif and see if you can zero them... if they don't zero, then you might want to consider checking the barrel is attached correctly.
I had an HK416 that a badly fitted barrel nut by the previous owner, a quick unscrew & reattachment and it was fine & sights were zeroed with a basic adjustment.

Im starting to think it maybe the mounts as they were 2.50 off ali express. Maybe I should but a one piece mount so I know for sure its level.
 
Are you following the directions on the scope turret by any chance?

If so, try adjusting it fully the other way and see what the result is before doing anything else.

I've had this before when I first started sniping, thinking that the 'left/right' direction on the scope referred to the crosshairs, when it's often actually the point of impact, and so I was going completely the wrong way.

If the issue still persists, then definitely look at changing the scope rings next.
