Gibbs 1903A4 repro: Hi-Lux repro scope problem/question.
Went to the range the other day to zero the Hi-Lux 73B1 tepro scope at 100 yards. I used Federal 150gr SP. Windage was fine. With the down elevation adjusted to it's 32 click limit the closest I could get is 5 inches high. This is unacceptable. Has anyone else had this problem with theirs? If so, did you contact Gibbs or Hi-lux and what did they say?
The paper that came with the scope said it was set to optical center at the factory. This was not true of mine. I checked it my collimator before the range trip and the reticle was at it's right/down outer limits. I set it to optical center myself. Then I adjusted the rear mount to center the windage line with the bore. I know this scope has it's limits but if it can't get any closer than this at 100 yards then it's useless.
