    See the screws on the side? Their for zeroing the scope on the x and y axis.

    sometimes the crosshair may not seem to move, so if you would kinda wiggle the x-axis screw and y-axis screw abit, it kinda loosens it up for a better result! happened to mine, and to my mates Acog!
    just a tip :)

    don't go too far with em if they get tightish, the screws can break really easily.,:)

    i agree with you, there was one point where the screw on my Eotech looked it it was about to come off. the screw wasnt sitting in the groove any more and was at a angle, it was tight etc. i dont remember how this happened but after more adjusting it slowly loosened up and slotted back into place and now it works perfect. IMO i think the Eotech needs to warm up basicly :p wear it in till its broken in :D

    I got one and it doesnt seem to adjust at all :(

    You can just keep turning and turning nothing happens. It looks top notch tho.

    sounds like it might already be gone too far and snapped. theres a small chance its off its threads so id open her up and have a look before ya give up on it.,

    same thing happened to my Eotech when i got it, it just didnt seem to want to move at all! and it didnt move at all! and the screws started messing up on me so i thought i had broke it straight off, but if you wiggle the adjusting screws and hopfully not have "might already be gone too far and snapped" as masada said! you have the exact situation as i did when i got mine. it might heal itself. or you can let some one good at fixing things to open it and take a look!

    It's possible the screw thread has moved inside the actual sight, I got one from Ebaybanned which arrived a week ago and I had to open the sight up and move the bit inside because it had come off the threads of the screw and wasn't adjusting, fine now:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭Beez


    Oh right, thought it just did not adjust (which i thought was a bit crap).

    Ill have a mess around with it when i get back.

    Hmm opened it up last night. 2 springs flew out took ages to find em. I can see it adjusting to left and right but up/down is really stiff and does not seem to do anything. I hastily put it back together before i properly screwed it up. Looks like ill just have to aim high :rolleyes:
