I am having some major issues trying to sight in my Acog scope. I'm not sure if the adjustments are broken, but I tried using my Bushnell laser bore sighter and adjusting the windage and elevation, but no matter how many clicks I adjusted the knobs the reticle's position would not change or move towards the red dot. Also, I have been having a major problem trying to adjust this sight at the range, as no matter how man adjustments I make it seems to lose zero.
I will admit it has been a long time since I have done any scoped rifle shooting, as I have used irons more often than not. I'm not sure if it is my crappy shooting and also that I don't know how to sue the bore sighter, but I am thinking something is wrong. The stupid bore sighter's battery seems to die in within 2 minutes, so now I think I will just have to take this thing to the range to confirm. I'm wondering if my Acog TA33R-8 is having some type of issue with the adjustments. Is there any possibility that the adjustments may be broken or am I doing something utterly stupid? I will say that I had to return this Acog to Trijicon once already because the reticle was crooked. I am truly wondering if I have acquired a lemon.
Also, I'd appreciate any advice on the best methods for sighting in an Acog using a LaRue mount on a quad-rail flattop AR-15. I have an LMR MRP CQB 16 rifle with which I am using the Acog scope. Considering, I'm not the best shooter out there, I am thinking of getting some type of rifle rest. I know a Sporting Goods store here sellings the sandbag type rests that have front and back rest and are shaped in a way to support holding a rifle. I'd be interested if anyone can give me a tips on shooting rests that would guarantee the most stability of the rifle. I just want to make 100% sure that the reason for any bad grouping is because of me, rather than a defective scope , mount or rifle.
Edit:
I am starting to wonder if the prism inside the scope is broken. This perhaps could have happen from me overadjusting it or it could have always have been a defect from the manufacturer. I'm not sure, but does anyone know what ramifications I may incur if the scope needs to go back to Trijicon to repair the prism? I'm not exactly sure if this is my fault or not. Another issue I see is that the adjustment knobs are a bit chewed up. I'm not sure how this happened, but I only gently used a screwdriver tip to adjust the clicks, but the adjustment knobs seem to have eroded away.
I'm starting to get fed up with this Trijicon and thinking maybe its time I get a different scope. Considering, how much I paid for it, I am hoping I can fix it and make up for my losses. It would be nice if I could actually get this scope to work, but right now I am baffled.
