Recently my rifles reticle has canted. It is hard to say when it actually happened but I know I first noticed it after taking it out to the range out of the case.
I don't know whether it happened while I was shooting last or during the bag while transporting.
I noticed when I push the zoom adjustment past its limit with pressure I can move the Reticle back into the proper position.
On that reticle adjustment there is an Allen key screw. Does that screw lock in the reticle? I have since tightened that screw. I haven't taken it to the range or tried pushing the reticle with the zoom adjustment.
I went online and I looked at a couple of vertical fixes that involved removing a portion of the scope to get to the wire reticle moving it with a toothpick and then gluing it in place. I don't think this is necessary though. I'm not sure how these work but I'm wondering if that screw on the side of the zoom has something to do with holding things in place.
The recoil was from a 30-06. In my collection this is the firearm that I own with the most recoil. The scope itself is an OhHunt 6x24.
