I have a TA31F. I've had it on two separate rifles. On both rifles I've had to set it fully to one side on the horizontal and even then its not enough. If you have the horizontal set properly the only setting that should change with distance is elevation correct?

I had set the sight up using a laser bore sight (the type you put in the chamber). When I took it to the range the horizontal was way off. And changed with distance. Almost like the optic wasn't centered on the rifle.

I'm thoroughly confused. Sucks to have it work at one distance but have to adjust more than elevation at another. Please help.

Why dont you send it back to Trijicon and have them look it over. All companies sometimes product lemons, but Trijicon will take good care of you.

I've been thinking about it. It hasn't seen much action and I don't want to put them out especially if theres nothing wrong with it. I thought maybe I am crazy or I don't understand how sighting-in works.

You have been giving it a tap after each adjustment to get it to "settle in", right?

I'm not sure what you mean by tapping it. But its not wandering and I'm not just taking 1 shot before adjustment. I have the sight adjusted all the way to one side and even at 75 yards its still shooting off-center significantly.

Which mount are you using?

I was using the one that came with it. I have since put it on an ARMs mount but haven't shot it in that configuration.
