Often scopes get blamed for running out of adjustment, when the most common problem these days is in the mounts (or how it was mounted), and sometimes in the rifle itself.


I had a custom 6.5x55 and a Model 99A that could not be adjusted to POA and both problems were caused by the screws on the receivers being off. If the scope tube isn't obviously damaged and it is responding to adjustments the odds are it is a mounting issue. I can see how centering the crosshair might point out problems with the scope.
