Just got my 1077 in the mail and a NcStar 3-9x40 adjustable compact scope and noticed while trying to zero it in that while shot was accurate on fixed object at 3x, it would be quite a bit off firing at the same object @ 9x...this may be elementary scope knowledge but this is the first time i've ever tried to zero in a scope...is that normal? Can you not use various magnifications to aim at the same distance? I ran out of daylight before i could figure this out...thanks for any help!

its a 1077, using a high magnification scope will be wasting your time being the 1077 is not a super super accurate gun. when i had mine i used a cheep 4x20 scope, i wasnt going to waste $$$ on a expensive scope that would do the same job as a cheep 4x20. i dunno if your in canada or the us but with the fps restricted model slight blows of wind or moving slightley may be causing you to slightley move the barrel. with my .22 bolt action i can easily knock cans off a fence 50-70 metres away i have a 3-7x32 scope and thats perfect for a .22 rimfire but i recon the highest mag you need to go on a 1077 is 4x

Fred:

From all I read and gathered about the 1077 people say the gun is good up to 20-30yards max. for hunting. The 1077 is a close-to-mid range gun. I to have experimented with the variable powered scopes but did not have much luck mounting them onto the scope rail of the 1077. The mounts on the .22 3-7x scopes I used just where tooo large.

First off bring the scope to the lowest power setting. When zeroing a scope it is best to go in five yard intervals from the zeroing target. Meaning stand five yards away from the paper target then point the gun and shoot one round. Now if the round fired is too high-low/left-right adjust the windage and elevation to either the high-low/left-right to get the shot closer. Now fire again and adjust till the shot lands in between the crosshairs.

Now I think you can do the same the opposite way meaning bring the scope to the full power first then zero the scope at full power then when you're out in the field you can unzoom the scope to see more then zoom in when you need to take the shot. I think that is the correct way but I default back to my zeroing on the low power for that's what I did before unless someone knows more that can enlighten me.

As far as I know when you change the zoom on the scope you change the point of impact (POI) where the shot lands.

I hope I helped in some way.
