• Bushnell Banner Adjustments

    From Pavel Svinchnik@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 21 12:54:35 2019
    I have a Remington 7400 with a Bushnell Banner scope. I haven't fired it in years and
    planned to take it up to the range next week.

    The power ring at the back of the scope won't adjust. I don't remember ever adjusting
    it but now it won't move. I don't want to force it but would like to be able to adjust it.

    On the left side of the scope, near the power ring, is a small screw. I was thinking that
    I might have to loosen that to adjust, but that seems unlikely as the scope should be
    adjustable in the field with just a twist.

    I read the material that came with the scope but there was no mention of this problem. Any
    suggestions as to how to get it working again?

    I found some clues on the web; I loosened the rings and moved the scope back a bit, then
    tightened the rings just enough to keep it from moving. Now it adjusts from 5 to 9 but sticks
    at 5; I guess I tightened it too much on initial install and put it out of round a bit.
