RRP 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Posted this in the general section but wasn't getting anywhere. This is my first posp 6x24 scope so maybe I am just asking too much of it.I mounted it on my 308,fits tight,locks down nicely.The problem is the whole scope doesn't seem to sit square with the reciever.If I pull it up to my shoulder,the cross hairs are tilted clockwise a little.Its not the reticle itself,If you hold the gun so you are looking at it from the front you can see that it is tipped some.Is there any fix to this?Or is it normal for these scopes?

greatmoose 4 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Apparently, it's normal. Mine does the same thing (tilts to the right, about 2 degrees or so). From what I've read, it's to help compensate for the left-hand offset of the scope. Also, apparently it's only the 6x and higher that do this (and I'm not sure all the 8x do it). The 4x scopes don't do it (at least, not the ones I've had.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RRP 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Thanks.Thats what I was kinda thinking.I just thought it was funny that everyone raves the posp scopes but nobody says anything about them being titled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ASSASSIN 1 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi I have 2 of the 4x scopes, a posp 4x24 and an original pos-1 4x24 none of these have this issue, i also have a posp 8x42 and this does not have this issue either. maybe it is only the 6x that has this but i would lean towards the thought that something may not be quite right. assassin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greatmoose 4 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I asked a couple of different distributers about it, and they all said the same thing (and yes, it looks like it's only the 6x Simonov reticle versions). Also, it's apparently a common occurance with PSL rifles. People complain about it, then find out it's normal. Dunno. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasdfs 5 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 My 8x42D does the same thing. I was wondering what the deal was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
