I went on my shooting range to sight a new Bushnell 6-24x50 Tactical scope, I was out about 2" on the right but When I tray to adjust I noticed that I had no more windage clicks, I solved the problem turning the mounting rings 180 degree, counting how many clicks I had from one side to the other ( 178 ), and going back half ( 89 ), I had to do the same with the elevation and I starter the sighting from scratch.
Now my scope is just perfect, 10 shoots at 100 Mt. in less than one inch.
Cheers

That's splendid. I liked the part where you turned the ring 180 degrees.....clever thinking.
