    Hello there,have been trying to zero in my scope for a while now but i cant do it.I place a target about 15 feet away shoot at it and try adjust the dials so the crosshairs line up with what I'm shooting but it doesnt work.Any help?

    This is the one - http://airsoftglobal.com/product_info.php?products_id=6098


    Its got two dials to adjust,up and down but then theirs one that just unscrews and there's a spring and little piece of brass coloured metal.Any idea what that does??

    post up a pic of the dials and il help ya, i think its the same as mine and i had no problem zeroing, probably since im a real steel owner and do it all the time lol...but either way, take off the caps snap 2 pics and post...il try help now though...

    1)do you have it on a stable platform..
    2)is it windy
    3)zeroing for 15 feet is madness unless youre playing indoors, outdoors zero for 30-50 feet should do..
    4)have you got youre hop up adjusted properly before you zero
    5)are you trying to zero with one eye open or two?

    Yea it's stable and it's not windy,it's probably because I'm shooting at a target that's too close to me.Didn't know that,thanks and I'm using one eye.Will try post pics up.

    yep after you adjust where you want youre hop up, then set the sights....remember youre not trying to get the BBs to go where the crosshairs are, youre trying to set the crosshairs to set to the point just before the BB drops...unless its windy, then dont adjust them lol
