Scope doesn't have adjustable sights
 

I got a cheap ass scope for fun at the gun show, and when I turn the turrets they thread off. It's only got that adjustable power ring. What am I looking at, my scope doesn't have turrets I think

Is there a black and white disk with numbers on it inside the hole when you screwed off the cap. If so, they are your adjustment, elevation on the top and windage on the side. On the disks it sould tell you how much change one click will make in elevation and windage at 100 yards. for example, 1 click= 1/4 inch @ 100 yards. So if you are at 25 yards it will take 4 clicks to move 1/4 inch. You adjust by using a screwdriver or a dime in the screw slot in the center of the disk. You will be ablr to feel the clicks, not hear them.

Could be that the cap is on so tight, the whole piece threaded out of the scope when you tried to unscrew the cap. I had that happen on an old Tasco one time. Hard to tell w/o a pic.

That's probably exactly what is happening, as the scope should be adjustable for elevation and windage. Post up a picture if you can and let us have a looksee at what you have.

When you say ".....when I turn the turrets they thread off."

Those are the "dust" covers.

Take them off, then adjust..................

Could well be if he has never messed with a scope before, as I took it like the other member that the entire turret was coming out of the scope!

You really don't need to post a picture. Just a scope brand name and model if it is marked on the scope will let most know what you have and be able to help you out.

:D Al

Not "EVEN" going there

What the heck, come on and give it the old college try, LOL!

LOL !!!

We all are born knowing nothing. :sad:

I know you as always willing to offer your help ! :party0005:

Plus I always enjoy the ways you phrase things....................

It would be nice if the OP would come back with some clarification since several here have tried to help him.

Yes, it would since it's been over two days since he asked and he hasn't logged on the site since then.

Probably because he feels like an idiot for even posting this without doing some looking at his scope.

Bingo, we have a winner! He actually was on the site twice yesterday and started a thread on coyote calling asking a couple more questions. You can read his post and decide if it is comparable to this scope one, LOL! I guess he's going by the old adage that no question is a dumb one, BUT......!!!

Yeah they were dust covers the scope is northwest territory I am convinced it didn't have turrets because I couldn't get the covers off by hand I took a towel and pliers.... Now to figure out how to steady a rim fire enough to sight it in....

I think I will have to do as RR did the other day on a thread and say: "Not even going to touch that one"! I would like to ask how old you are and how long you've been around firearms if you don't mind saying though with the various questions and comments you've made in your first few days on the site?

lmao@ Top! Mean old cuss!

Okay, so you are building an AR, putting a scope on a .22 (I'm assuming) and you don't know the difference between turret adjusters and the typical inset adjusters with dust covers? Not to mention the coyote questions or not even knowing how to rest and sight in a rifle. I'm starting to smell some BS here and the closest cattle to me are around 5 miles. My sniffer isn't that good!

:lolabove::lolabove: Yep, something just doesn't smell right, sniff test failure.

I tend to be as skeptical as any about trolls or red herrings or any other name by which you might call someone that posts semi-ludicrous threads with the intent of fouling different forums. I can also, as I've been told, have very littler tolerance, and very little temperance in my word choice in my responses, so I come off like an *******, even when I'm not trying to be. And I don't think it's a secret - sometimes I TRY TO BE. But, in certain cases, I step back and ask myself - what if I'm wrong? What if this guy is legitimately so new to what he's doing that he just has no idea what he's doing? What if that's an honest question? An honest mistake?

The guy's 19yrs old, sounds like he has a schit job in Vegas, and he's new to firearms. He's definitely gotten a lot of salty commentary from some of us on our site here - myself included.

Stick around, keep asking questions.

Grumble Grumble I hate it when the kids right! I sawwy Freight. Just some things aren't adding up for my poor peanut sized brain. And I'm a bit crotchity due to being stuck in a wheelchair for a while with a busted up knee and hip. My apologies. Us old farts (yes you too Oldtimr) should be a bit more tolerant of the newbies!

all I have to say is, he is asking questions of a total newb to shooting and rifles, but the guy is in the process of building an AR and has it almost complete, yet just read about headspace, least we can do his help him keep from blowing his fool head off. we were all there once, did we attempt to build a rifle before we knew what headspace was? give the man credit, he wants to learn!

I did have a scope cap stick one time, and when I tried to take it off to adjust the scope the whole piece screwed out of the scope. So I know it can happen. I had to hold it with pliers to get the scope cap off. It was an old tasco that came on a used gun I got, I guess whoever put the cap on previously tightened that sucker down as tight as they could! I couldn't believe you could tighten a cap down tight enough to do that.

I used to go into armories and ask these kinds of questions... Now I just make different forum accounts....
