Has anyone had problems with the Hawke Sport Optics Airmax 30 6-24x50 scope? I just received my Weihrauch HW97 and I have been unable to get it to hold zero. I went through about 200 rounds and it was so bad it was almost comical. I would finally get it to zero at 25yds, then within 3 shots it would be off by up to 6". The adjustments needed to get it back to zero were off the charts; 5 clicks up, 6 clicks right, 8 clicks down, 7 clicks left. Either I am the worst shot in the world, or something about my setup is seriously wrong.
I have Diabolo Field .177 8.4 grain pellets on the way, but in the meantime all I have on hand are Crossman Selects. The pellets felt very loose when putting them in the chamber, so I'm thinking it may be the ammunition.
I gave up on the Hawke and am sending it back, mainly because it was so long that it covered the pellet loading chamber, but also due to the zeroing problem. I now have a Aztec Emerald on the way.
