I purchased a quik-kee magnetic mount for my Hawkins .50 percussion cap (sold by dixie gunworks),mounted an inexpensive2x scope I had in my spare parts box. Although I have read that this mount is stable and can be removed/replaced without having to resight, I haveyet to get it zeroed in after about 15 shots.

My gun shootsfairly good patterns at 50 yards, but I have been unable to getthisscope/mount to repeatably hit the paper, each follow up shot is at best 6" - 8" from the last shot.

Iwould like to ask what the likelyhood of the scope not holding the adjustment would be. Trying to decide whether to ditch the mount or the scope, but want to try to avoidthrowing money at the wrong component. Is there any way to test a scope to be sure that it is holding the adjustment?

Thanks,
