ok i just got my scope and i went to the range to sight it in. the problem is that it's a 3-9 scope and it won't adjust. i took the screw out to move the ring but it still won't adjust. i have never had a problem with a bushnell scope. i don't have the money to get a nikon or leupold. so what could be the problem? thanks

It may be DOA. They do that occasionally.

dway87,what screw did you take out?this is not sounding good.Please give us some more info.Like what model bushnell,were this screw is located,if the scope was new or used

dway87

the model is bushnell trophy 73-3940s (silver) 3-9 variable scope. the screw was on the ring where you adjust the power from 3x to 9x. when the screw is in you can't move the ring which is why i took it out to move it. it is a brand new scope. i just received it today.

i did go ahead and sighted it in at what it's at. i have no idea what power it's on. probably 3 or 4. but the gun shot dead on so at least that's something to be happy about. i would like the power to be on at least 6 though.

Did you buy this scope on line?or a local store.It is going to have to go back to bushnell for repair most likly

You shouldnt have taken out any screws on the scope. You may have simply received a bad scope. I would take it to a shop or someone who knows what they are doing asap. Don't disasemmble it any further because they may not take it back.
