    Colt Scope ??

    I have a Colt scope like this one. Colt AR 15 3x20 Scope AR15 : Gun Scopes at GunBroker.com


    I downloaded the instructions and took it to the range, the scope is inconsistent when shot in a fixed posistion. I brought the target in as close as 7 yards and get groups 4-8 inches apart. If I make any adjustments it doesn't seem to respond. I'm wondering if the scope is no good at this point or repairable.

    Any thoughts ??? Chris

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Possibly damaged. It's hard to say without a control situation like a machine rest, but it sure sounds like it may be gunned...

    Scopes can be fixed, but I'm not close enough to you to really be of help.

    Is it a Colt marked scope? How tight is it in the handle? You may try one thickness of black electrical tape on the bottom angles and sides. I had a Chinese knock off scope that shot like that.

    Going to give it another try this weekend, the lowest range is marked 100/200 on the dial I have been trying to get it consistent at 30 yards. So the adjustments for W&E are going to take some time. Guess I need some more patience's LOL
