I did turn the elevation all the way down and kept it going a few clicks even after I felt some resistance. Zerodefect, I am happy to hear that you don't think I broke it. Therefore, I don't think I have a lot to lose, except some shipping, by sending it to them. I also shaved away a good amount of the brass on the turret notches, so if nothing else, I would like it if Trijicon could replace those.
As far as the mount being too high, that is a possibility, but my problem is that the reticle would not adjust at all, no matter how many times I adjusted the clicks. I do have a laser bore sighter that goes in the muzzle. I agree there are so many things I probably done wrong. If there is nothing wrong with the scope, at least I can hear it from them. I already sent the Return Authorization to Trijicon's website. If this doesn't help, you may have a real problem, which Trijicon should take care of pretty quickly. The upside is that once you have it zeroed, you'll never have to mess with it again. What I usually do is to tap the turret that I just adjusted with the handle of a screw driver, just to give it a nudge. So, make an adjustment and fire at least three rounds to "jar" the scope, then fire another to confirm your point of impact. What may be happening is that the scope needs to be jarred for the adjustments to take effect. When you make an adjustment, the adjustment appears to not have any effect. I've seen plenty that kind of have sticky internals. It can have you tearing your hair out.Īlthough ACOGs are probably some of the toughest sights on the planet, they do have their quirks. Then, when you get to the range, you shoot, adjust, then notice that it didn't hit where you thought it should and adjust again, then it looks like you adjusted too much. Using the bore sighter, you try to adjust the reticle, but it doesn't seem to move. It would be nice if I could actually get this scope to work, but right now I am baffled. Considering, how much I paid for it, I am hoping I can fix it and make up for my losses. I'm starting to get fed up with this Trijicon and thinking maybe its time I get a different scope. I'm not sure how this happened, but I only gently used a screwdriver tip to adjust the clicks, but the adjustment knobs seem to have eroded away. Another issue I see is that the adjustment knobs are a bit chewed up. I'm not sure, but does anyone know what ramifications I may incur if the scope needs to go back to Trijicon to repair the prism? I'm not exactly sure if this is my fault or not. This perhaps could have happen from me overadjusting it or it could have always have been a defect from the manufacturer.
I am starting to wonder if the prism inside the scope is broken. I just want to make 100% sure that the reason for any bad grouping is because of me, rather than a defective scope, mount or rifle. I'd be interested if anyone can give me a tips on shooting rests that would guarantee the most stability of the rifle. I know a Sporting Goods store here sellings the sandbag type rests that have front and back rest and are shaped in a way to support holding a rifle. Considering, I'm not the best shooter out there, I am thinking of getting some type of rifle rest. I have an LMR MRP CQB 16 rifle with which I am using the Acog scope. I am truly wondering if I have acquired a lemon.Īlso, I'd appreciate any advice on the best methods for sighting in an Acog using a LaRue mount on a quad-rail flattop AR-15. Is there any possibility that the adjustments may be broken or am I doing something utterly stupid? I will say that I had to return this Acog to Trijicon once already because the reticle was crooked. I'm wondering if my Acog TA33R-8 is having some type of issue with the adjustments. The stupid bore sighter's battery seems to die in within 2 minutes, so now I think I will just have to take this thing to the range to confirm. I'm not sure if it is my crappy shooting and also that I don't know how to sue the bore sighter, but I am thinking something is wrong. I will admit it has been a long time since I have done any scoped rifle shooting, as I have used irons more often than not. Also, I have been having a major problem trying to adjust this sight at the range, as no matter how man adjustments I make it seems to lose zero. I'm not sure if the adjustments are broken, but I tried using my Bushnell laser bore sighter and adjusting the windage and elevation, but no matter how many clicks I adjusted the knobs the reticle's position would not change or move towards the red dot. I am having some major issues trying to sight in my Acog scope.
