The_Lord_Poncho Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I have had this before - in my case it was that the ultra cheap mounts that came with the scope were not actually clamping down evenly/fully on the picatinny rail - worth checking that first.

RostokMcSpoons Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Hiya! Yeah, I've had much the same sort of issue, my latest gat shoots quite a bit higher than my aiming point at the moment. What sort of range are you zeroing at? How much hop have you got on? Do bear in mind that our toys have different ballistic properties to normal guns - enough hop dialed in, and the BB will lift quite a bit compared to a normal trajectory. You might find the vertical zero is fine at 30-40m, but quite off at 10-15m, unless you take some of the hop off. Or indeed vice-versa, if you're shooting lower than the aiming point, it might just be a lack of hop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
