i assume youre smart enough to try focusing? if it took a hit, or near hit, or a hard dive, a lens probably jiggled loose. if thats the case, youre gonna have to get a new sight. i suggest a red dot. they are better. face it. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

oh i admit red dots are more functional, akways have i was probably gona buy one anyways. my scope is intimidating and looks cool to all the walkons. people have full milsim gns at my field but all the walkons flock to me to hold my gun. i have never taken a hit to my scope. seems the scope unscrewed itself a bit. for some reason whenever the front lens of the scope is unscrewed or screwed back in. so in 15 mins ill check it and see. my crosshairs are broken though so well see what happens ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

face it. its time to retire the scope. its not even a function thing anymore! the cross hairs are broked, the front lens seems to spontaneously unscrew, it wont focus, etc. its time for a new something... ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

actually this all happened today i fixed the crosshairs i guess when i was opening up the scope a hair broke off but i used a knife to reposition and its fine. i didnt think the crosshairs on a scope for a rifle would be so weak the unscrewing was probaly done by me by accident or stupid family member and it was fog inside lens that caused problem in first place. ill post again in 15 mins to tell if it worked or not. i would have bought a red dot last week but my paintball store for some reason doubled the price of theirs from $45-$70 ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

| Ive been here 2 years exactly... He'll have me covered in a few weeks... But anyway why didn't you post this in New Player Forum or Gun Maintenace.... You always bag on people posting in wrong forums... But anyway... Adjust your focus or something... That controls the blur unless you have no focus adjust... Maybe its fogged up who knows.... Im looking forward to see your gun actually... With teh Apex and all... Get some pics up... |

my scope is amazing for milsim. the apex is amazing but much different that i expected. it was cool how it goes down then rises up but the consistency on the last setting is so bad. i thought i would be able to kepp it on one setting and leave it there but you cant set it too high if you are colse to the person or you will hit the ground. curve really works but i dont see ever really using it. dive bomb is the only move other than longball that i can see using. when i went back 150 feet (which is kinda half it's range aparently) i had to aim in the air above target a bit so it wouldnt hit the ground before rise. the long range thing seems to be true. my scope is perfect size and is very small for a scope. knuckelez have you ever been to a range? my scope is small as far as they go but not too small that it wastes money. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

yeah the guns at the range make yr scope look like a little weiner. i compared yr scope to a BB gun scope i saw at the store the other day lmao. and if it is that amazing buy another one like it? Nice to hear about yr apex tho. ------------- Tippmann Custom Pro-E Polished Internals Custom Mill/Paint Job 16" Rifeled SP Barrel A-6 Stock QEV Cyclone Feed System Chroned at 18 Balls a Second |

thanks the scope i think has water between the lens so i left them out in sun all day and i think most of water has left. mine is bigger than most bb gun scopes, its meant for 22 rifles but can do much more. i never understood why you would need a huge scope for anything anyways. and dont bug me on scope cause i allready said im getting red rot at some time. but that is long way away ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |
