I have very limited experience with optics. So here it is,
The gun in question is an HW35e which has a very noticeable barrel droop. With the optically centered scope I'm getting about 5 inches low and 1.5 inches to the left. So as I adjust the elevation turret up, the poi simultaneously moves to the right, getting the poi closer to the point of aim with each shot. Therefore instead of moving straight up, the poi moves diagonally, if this makes sense.
This has happen to me twice with two different budget scopes ($150-$190) from different manufacturers but the same gun. Someone here suggested that this might be due to a tilted scope. Understandable, but the gun and scopes have been bubble leveled during the setup. I talked to one of the scope's manufacturers just to learn more about this and he told me that if there is too much vertical adjustment going on I could see this behavior. I think he said that this is due to the erector tube not having enough pressure form the internal springs. Whats your take?
Anyhow, I'm using an adjustable mount for this gun which serves me well but brings me another issue, eye alignment. With the adjustable mount sitting too high and the low vintage cheek piece of the gun the eye alignment is off. I'm thinking maybe a cheek riser could be a solution.
