I just noticed that my burris veracity has really crocked crosshairs.. I had issues with this scope before and tonight when shooting I noticed my rifle looked squared but my scross hairs was crooked.. So I put rifle in gun vise and re leveled.. My scope is way crocked. turret at 12 and 3 o clock and the crosshairs are at 11 and close to 2 o clock.. Anyone else had this problem with scopes?? I going to call burris when they are open and send it back to be fixed. Dan
Scope level but crosshairs are not inline with adjustment knobs

Yikes, I think that is a etched reticle also. Guessing a spring inside went zing..... best it happens now then in the heat of fur season. Let us know what they tell you.

I now notice that my side focus is like 120 yards off also.. At 300 yards to be focused its around the 180 yard mark on the side focus knob.. And yes that is etched glass.. So will call them Monday.. I read that I have to pay shipping to them and they will take care of it coming backand a 2 to 4 week turn around time.. But this was on their site and will find out Monday..Dan

In my opinion they should definitely fix the Crosshair situation, but the numbers on the side focus, in my opinion there's nothing they can do aboutthat. I've never really found a scope that was dead on on all numbers. I've had some scopes that were close and some of them that were way off.

I could understand on a lower cost scope but on a 1000$ top of the line scope from a manufacturer, one would think it should be closer to the correct yardage.. The only range I had before was 100 yards now I can get to 400.. Dan

The only range I had before was 100 yards now I can get to 400.. Dan i may not be exact on this but i think other things effect the parrallax adjustments. Like the eye peice focus and also climate conditions. Plus each persons eyes are different. Most often the numbers are just a rough estimate. I dont know if any true accomplished marksman would ever adjust parralax by setting it at the numbered value alone.

Correct.
Some of the “top of the line” scopes don’t even have numbers. They only have marks.
And a $1000 scope isn’t necessarily top of the line in the first place.

Burris top of the line...And everyone who shot the rifle at 300 yards had the same side focus setting.. But I thank you all for info on the side focus numbers.. Why would they put them there if wont even be close to the yardage they are set for?? Dan

I’ve never owned any Burris scopes, but it seems like the XTR II might be their top of the line at this time. I may be wrong.
You need to ask Burris about the numbers not lining up. Then call Schmidt and Bender and ask them why their numbers don’t always line up either.
Burris is pretty much bottom of the barrel here:

Seems those guys need to get it together... My Barska tactical is right on the numbers every time. Just turn it to the number and shoot. Clarity doesn't get better, no matter which way you turn the side focus...

How did you “level” the scope?

That is one of the least accurate ways to do it. The reticle needs to be level, not the turrets. It is a good start, but inefficient and inaccurate in the end.
Reticle-tru is a good product. Easy to use.
A level bench, level rest and level receiver along with a plumb bob is how I prefer to level the cross hairs. So long as the scope tracks straight up and down, and then left and right, then the orientation of the turrets is mostly aesthetics.

Yes.
Most scopes designed for LR shooting have a flat base at the bottom of the turret section. The reticle is set to be square to this base.
You can use feeler gauges to square this base to the picatinny rail. If all of the parts and pieces are manufactured to specs as they should be, the reticle will then track vertically and horizontally as it should.
Then you can attach a bubble level to the scope tube and set it by a plumb line to prevent canting the scope when shooting.
