Is it the Scope or the mounts?

Has he tried different mounts to eliminate them as the problem?

I helped a young fella zero a rifle last week that would not group until we changed the mounts

Can he group well with it?

ie;Consistantly 2" to left no matter how many clicks like he has run out of clicks?

Seems very odd.

Windage mounts will get you them inches.

But just like when a fuse blows, Something caused it!

Hardly wrung the windage adjustment

the clicks are only an indicator to you that its rotating

so you know ya have rotated it whatever amount
but if its damaged internally nothing will have moved
even though its clicking

thanks daithi, told him we'll use windage screws in the morn and get back some clicks and hope for the best, problem is why did it lose zero he does have it dead on set it at 120yards 1in heigh on 25.06, we shot a deer thismorn and he said the shot was to the right and heigh and so it was, will check bases and rings first, Thanks.

I rang zeiss in the UK last year as I wanted to get the reticule changed in one of my scopes but they told me to contact a Irish dealer.
I just got my friend in N Ireland to send it to them instead.

You could probably send it direct to germany yourself but I would contact them first.
