rifle scope sighting in problem
 
I have mounted new scopes on a couple of rifles I have. A .22 and a .17 caliber. My trouble is I can't zero the rifles on the bulls eye. On both scopes I run out of left. I have dialed the wind adjustment as far left as it will go and I am still right of the bulls eye. Do I have to remount the scopes> Thanks for the help.

Sounds like a mounting problem , take them off and double check everything is level and center

Exactly the same issue with two rifles/scopes. It sounds like a mounting issue.

Just curious. What type of mounts are being used?

I'd second the re-mounting suggestion. I'd go right back to square 1 just to be sure there wasn't something I may have accidentally missed.

Is it possible you're cranking the windage in the wrong direction?

When sighting in the directions on the turrets are the direction you want the bullet to move to

Maybe take a picture and post of the scope, the rings and specifically how they are attached ..... might be able to get someone to identify the problem.

I had to take the scopes off and remount them then used a bore sighter to ensure they were aligned. It worked well. Just got pack from sighting them in and now I have no excuse to miss.

Thanks to all for the advice.

I was going to suggest to re-mount and bore sight the scope before you take the rifle out to the range again, but it looks like you already solved the problem.
A good laser bore sighter does help a lot, and eliminates a lot of frustration.
Good job!!!
