Guys I have a primary arms 5x scope. It's 1/2 moa and I cannot get it down to sighted in.
It's getting to the point to we're I feel like a have a dud. Honesty frustrated about it, but I wanna make sure that it's not me.
So here's my question, is 1/2 moa 1 in at 100 yards or still 1/2. Iv sighted plenty of rifle scopes in can't for the life of me get it down.
At 100 if I move it more than 2-3 clicks it's way off please help me lol.

Obviously something isn't right. Turning the windage in the right / left direction should move POI in the corresponding position; not the opposite direction. "Up/down and left/right indications on the adjustments (turrets) on red dots are referring to the direction the point of impact will shift."

If turning it right moves your POI to the left, have you tried turning your adjustments the opposite way?  Does it move your POI in the correct direction?

Okay well iv hit my target we're I wanted, then took it out and could hit the same target .
Contacted primary arms and was told to take it off check base screw and locktight.
Iv done that hit my target again and I haven't touched anything. Put 2 close  to center shot two more was way low. So I decided to choir the head of the man target held dead center hit way low. I'm gonna try again tomarrow if weather doesn't prevent. It's very frustrating iv spent more rounds trying to figure out what's wrong to enjoy the setup. What do you guys think give it one more shot or send it in. It has a three year warrenty.

If you've got a wandering zero and you're sure it's not the gun (loose barrel nut, etc.) or you, send it back for a replacement.  No sense wasting more time and ammo to confirm what you already know.
