I decided to mount the Nikon P-223 scope I had listed on here onto my AR. I ordered a set of Nikon P-Series rings to mount the scope with.
The scope is used, so I am not sure of any adjustments that have been made to it. I mounted it, put a laser bore site into the rifle, then chose a tree that was about 25-30 yards away to see where it was. The dot showed very low and to the left. I adjusted the windage knob until the dot was on the vertical line. The issued is when I attempted to bring the dot up in elevation. I ran out of clicks and it is still really low.
I decided to keep fiddling with it, so to make sure the scope was "in the middle" so to speak. I adjusted both knobs all the way to one side, then counted the clicks it took to move it to the other side, then set them both to the middle number. I looked again through the scope and the laser bore was low and to the left again, but not as bad as it was when I first started. Again I adjusted the windage to the vertical line, but then I got distracted by one of my kids and had to leave it alone.
So my question is this, when I mess with it again, and if I can not get it to be dead center on the laser bore, what would be a good suggestion to fix the issue? Or should I just leave it all alone until I can get to the range and actually use a target that is 100 yards away to sight the scope in correctly?
