Getting old sucks. That 4x IOR scope that came with my PSL just doesn't have enough magnification for my eyes beyond about 300m, so I've been trying to get a Weaver 6-24x42 to mount and zero.
The first mount was a Kalinka high dual-rail with extra-short rings, and I couldn't get the scope to zero. Flat out of adjustment at 100 yards, and still 18" low.
Mount is currently the Kalinka low dual-rail. Rings are Weaver extra-high. I'm still almost out of adjustment (about 4 clicks from the stop, clicks are 1/8moa), but at least it's on the same silhouette now... sometimes.
The new problem is, the scope isn't staying on zero. I battle-zero'd at 20m, should have been dead-on at 200. I was hitting about 12" high at 200.
I don't have any problems other than not enough magnification with the 4x IOR, and hold about 1.5 MOA with it.
Is that quick-change mount too loose, or is the big Weaver just too much mass?
I'm about ready to go for a 4-16x on the tall mount, or suck up the dollars for an 8x POSP.
Any suggestions?
