After reading the forum regarding the Alpha 6 scope using search function it wouldn't be wise to touch any of the turrets once set for zero and just use hold overs including for windage compensation.
Have you tried a different scope to isolate whether or not it's the scope or the gun throwing fliers or perhaps windy condition?
If it's for sure a scope issue there is their life time warranty you probably get a new replacement.
Found something rather disappointing online.
I had high hopes for the Athlon Midas Tac. Unfortunately it appears to not track perfectly and glass wasn't really up to par.
The Athlon Ares ETR didn't even make the list. I would think that would have been the most reliable tracking scope for their brand. I was really looking forward to buying one some day once the price significantly went below $849 which is the cheapest I have seen it priced at. I think $600 would be a fair price. Too bad for the 25 yard minimum focus.
I would not recommend Hawke brand if reliable turret tracking is a priority. Note even their top of the line in my opinion excessively high priced Hawke Frontier did not track properly with noticeably sub par glass. I have not had good experience with this brand nor their warranty service.
Noticed Air gun Channel used Hawke Air Max on his video reviews and clicking the turrets didn't seem to have noticeable effect and in fact resulted in some fliers.
https://www.outdoorlife.com/story/gear/the-best-precision-riflescopes-for-2020/ Surprised the Sightron S3 didn't make the list. It is made in Japan and I guess it may be considered too much of a budget scope compared to other brand labels originating from that country.
When reading the optics forums including this one the Sightron S3 were on clearance for half price not that long ago.
It is probably a scope you may want to buy if you like to dial in your shots. I would think the turrets could possibly be reliable enough. They come with a life time warranty unlike the slightly cheaper Falcon brand counter part that is only warrants for 10 years limited to the original owner.
If your wanting to dial in the turrets and budget is really tight Camera Land NY might still have deals on the Sightron S Tac as a combo deal for as low as $299 that were $274 few weeks ago for just the scope. At least the elevation seemed to track perfectly according to the video review posted above. The FFP zero stop illuminated ones were on sale at slightly discounted prices as well.
In my honest opinion if willing to pay full price for any thing it better darn well be absolutely perfect and well worth the price.
More power to every one who can actually afford to pay more money than what they are really worth.
When you already seen things discounted at half price and you know they are still making profits kind of makes you wonder about every one else who paid full price for them. How high are the mark ups really.
Life time warranty for items they can just trade you brand new replacement for no questions asked. Are they that cheap and not even worth repairing to send back the same item you sent in. Or just send your broken item back saying nothings wrong.
Or later refurbish then not offer the life time warranty any more practically as is no warranty if bought refurbs only slightly discounted.
What bugs me the most are the companies that don't stand behind their products and ones who only offer limited original owner warranty or only 3 or 5 years. Or 10 year warranty limited to the original owner for ridiculously expensive ones.
Noticed Bushnells life time warranty is now considered life time for 30 years according to their definition. Probably need to keep all proof of purchase receipts.
You hear the best warranty is the one that you will never have to use. This is a fact.
