as deer said and awshucks,i would say its your base which is theDIAL/A/RANGE..
like me, i could not figure it out why i was hitting 2 inchs high on bow that shot 50 arrows DEAD ON..
it took 50 arrows to loosen up that screw on left side that holds the dial/a/range on..
deer said about using locktite, we all use FINGER NAIL POLISH as it is little easier to get a screw out..
locktite is now making a product that is a little less strong than RED type we used at work..
i think its BLUE, not sure...

Some guys have used finger nail polish for a long time and it works good, but ol Sproul has it mixed up! If you use Red locktite on aluminum you are screwed if you ever want to take it apart again. Red is the strong stuff, blue is the forgiving stuff and you can take it apart again.

RE: horton scope problems!
I have a 175 also. Mine would not adjust to the right. took it apart and it seemed to be drilled off center. Sent it back to Horton. They turned it around in 2 weeks and is working okay now. Still not grouping great outside of 25 yards though.
