How To Reset a Scope to "Factory Zero"
I want to use my Simmons Aetec 3.8-12x44 scope on my Rem 700P, but first I would like to reset the W&E adjustments to where they were when the scope was new; i.e., at the from-the-factory setting.
I did not keep track of how much I had to adjust these when the scope was on its previous rifle, but I know I did adjust it some. Resetting the adjustments to the factory setting, I believe, will result in having equal adjustment Up as Down, and Left as Right.
I was going to turn each adjustment all the way in one direction, and then in the opposite direction, count the turns between the limits, divide by two, and I would know where the middle would be. I tried this and found that I can easily detect the all-the-way-turned-in limit, but such is not the case when turning them out, and I am afraid I may screw them out too far - I just don't know.
I have e-mailed Simmons (twice) but after a week have not received a response.
Does anyone know what I am talking about? (I may have made the issue more confusing than it really is.)
Any suggestions on how to reset the adjustments?
Thanx!
Alex
