I've just got new to me used scope the other day. No manual.
#1 Before mounting
I always centre Reticle for Elevation and Windage by cranking adjustment knob clockwise to the stop then counterclockwise to the stop counting numbers of clicks from one stop to the other. Then setting Reticle dead in the centre.
My current scope Elevation bottomed out at 3 full turnes and 60 clicks. To set my Crosshair in centre I've bucked off 1 and 1/2 turn and 30 clicks. Same for Windage....
Now I know that Reticle is in CENTRE of adjustment.
Now is time to mount on the gun. I will do this this afternoon.
I am mounting on a gun that was working with old scope so all should work well as I am not changing scope rings only scope.
If your scope Reticle was on end of Adjustment when you got it this could be responsible for running out of room for adjustment.
(I do this for a Brand New scopes as well.)
