My X-sight 4k Pro will not hold zero over an extended time between use. The farmwear is up to date. I use it once a year for a hog hunt. Every year I check zero before the hunt and it is always way off, but once it is zeroed it will stay for the week that I'm there. I have it zeroed at 50 yards as most our our shots are well within that range. This year I wasn't even on paper at 50 yards. I had to go 20 feet from the target. At 20 feet it was 10 inches left and 8 inches down. When I sighted in last year, I was dead on at 50 yards. I ended up walking it out to 50 yards sighting in as i went until I was dead on at 50 yards. This always gets many laughs from my hunting buddies telling me I have a piece of garbage and need to get a real scope. When this scope is sighted in, I love it, but having it so far off in between uses has me very frustrated. I have it mounted on a Mossberg Patriot in .450 Bushmaster.

Have you set up a profile for what projectiles you are shooting? My xsight has 4 profiles from .25 cal air rifle slugs to .308 win. My .25 PCP won't even hit paper at 30 yards if i forget to change profiles.

G'day,
On occasion I have found my 4K Pro [3-14] on an Anschutz rifle has 'reset' the reticle values after having not been used for some time. Over recent weeks I have shot foxes and hares out beyond 250 yards. I had hunted with the rifle about 9 days ago and clearly missed a fox at about 70 yards though the reticle was dead-on the fox in the video. I shot the rifle at 100 yards yesterday off my bench to check zero. The shot went way under the target face. It was probably shooting 10+" low at 100 yards. [Windage was OK.]
I need to remember each time I go hunting to check both the 4K Pro and my X-Sight II before I leave the house, check reticle settings then re-set if necessary. This is why keeping a current record of reticle settings is critical.
As to why scopes 'forget' settings I haven't a clue. I guess it's that electronic devices develop their own little 'brain' storms.
Jim
