    I'm not sure what you mean by that you have your hop off now but you should have adjusted your hop until you got a nice comfertable range without the BB veering too high at some point, the BB is never gonna go straight like a real bullet so the best way would have been if you set your hop to a nice range and set a target up somewhere and have your Scope zero'd for that range(a average range of engagment or somthing).
    I hope i helped slightly... not the greatest person for explaining things...

    Hope this diagram can help! I robbed it off someone on boards awhile back :D

    It can be simple, but depends on your aproach.

    First, take the scope off. Looking down the length of the barrel, fire bbs, and ajust your hopup till you reach a relatively even trajectory.

    Once you're happy with that, check the scope mount is straight, then affix your scope to the mount, and sight down it, dont look at the hairs, just look for the bb as you fire. If its within the scope circle, grand.

    If not... which I suspect is the problem, you will need to 'shim' your scope rings.

    Simple steps: Alternatively, try adding a thin sliver of material to first one side of the scope ring where it meets the rail, then the other to 'twist' the scope to each side till you find the bb. Alterlatively, add a little material in a similar method INSIDE the ring, to the front, or back ring, to raise, or lower the scope. Once you spot the bb, zero by dialing and firing till the crosshairs meet the bb.

    Simples :)

    It's so easy, even Lemming can do it :D

    thanks for reply guys its the whole time shooting high and to the right when shot with the scope! but it shooting very accurate without scope its challenging but rewarding hitting a jacobs biscuit tin 6/10 times at bot 30plus yards with kings arms 0.25bbs without scope

    my bbs were popping up not long after leaving barrel so turned hop up all the way off and trajectory is alot flatter now! reviews on youtube recommend this as hop up is a joke supposedly on this gun!

    my main problem i think is not bein able to hold gun straight while adjusting scope i think no matter what way i adjust scope it shoots high and to the right maybe i dont have it mounted right i really dont know?! it is a bummer not having scope on it gonna leave it and try again when i get the chance

    Hey Dave, Try putting a thin sliver of material UNDER the scope inside the front scope ring, and another piece between the ris rail, and the front scope ring's ris base, on the left hand side. THis should allow you to zero correctly. :)
