Help - I'm afraid my scope gave up

Post by hairbol »

I have an Equinox and have experienced something today that has me concerned. Last week (Wed) all was good shooting boltcutters well at 40 yards. Today the first shot is 6in high and left. and it just keeps getting worse! Checked all my mount, and ring screws and they're still tight. I've run out of down and right. Thoughts?

Same arrow or every one you shot was off ? Ck trigger screws n stock screws, is string brace good ? If'en its jus one arrow ck arrow split. If'en we said is good then yer scope maybe bad

Twilight DLX - Put it on a rifle and confirmed no adjust on either adjustment using bore sighter. The power ring had a very tight spot. I didn't mount it the dealer did. I mounted the new one and had no issues so far. I'm going to do a backup in Burris Signature Zee Rings, or just put one of my really good rifle scopes on an optimizer if I have any other issues.
