Hi there I get a S&amp;W 40VE and my question its that If get this sight I need to calibrate it? or its already calibrated? Thanks a lot!

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface. Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.

I found the gun to be very accurate at about 23'. However the fixed sights were terrible. In my case, it caused the gun to shoot &gt;6" low at the 23'.I added a red dot sight, and quarter size groups are now typical through 2 1/2 clips (~40 shots). I am shooting RWS Superdomes (preferred) and RWS Diablo Basic.

Mine wasn't easy to calibrate. You need to press a button on the back and go around a block - - - a complete 360 degree turn. You may have to do this several times to get it to be reasonably accurate. Good luck.

Yes that is why I bought it. However it has not worked yet. Have not had time to re calibrate sensitivity settings.

The scope is not designed to be co-witnessed with fixed iron sights. As previously stated, the reticle is visible with or without illumination, so it should be usable regardless of lighting conditions or dead batteries. If you want an alternative sighting system (for instance, a 1x non-magnified sight picture rather than 3x), I would recommend a set of 45 degree offset sights.

Kevin I bought the ML-12740 meprolight sights. On the installation instructions it states it is for S&W; pistols SIGMA and SDVE series. Anything that fits a SIGMA fits a SDVE, so I have been told. Happy shooting.

In my opinion, yes. Mine took 3 shots to get zeroed and haven't had any problems holding zero. Maybe the sight or riser is loose??

A little loss of accuracy is to be expected yes. Nothing you can't overcome with practice though. They are defensive sights so you trade a little accuracy for speed. Plenty good to be practically accurate however.

I am not sure what you mean by calibrate, but it may require some adjustment to be perfectly sighted in at your desired distance. It includes tools for making the adjustments and some rudimentary instructions.

I am using a Magpul rear flip up sight and it performs as advertised. Your problem sounds like a defect in manufacturing or it is not a genuine Magpul product. In any case, return it for a replacement.

I returned mine, you could see the dot fine but ran through almost a full box of 9mm and still couldn't get it adjusted correctly, they were good about taking it back but after the bad experience I decided to go a different path.......good luck

Kristen I can't answer or explain other folks' problems no more than I can answer if their scopes were mounted correctly. I can say that I've never had problems of any kind with UTG equipment other than their rheostats being a bit irritating sometimes. So far, I've not had any problems with the scope in question. The scope has performed perfectly from day one and I've put a bunch of rounds down range and it remains perfectly reliable. Is it the equal of a $2000.00 scope....obviously not, but it does work quite well and the glass is satisfactory. Just my cents worth. Paul

It did not need calibration although I did check to make sure it was correct when I received it. I have owned it for over a year now and I keep it turned off when not using it so the batteries are still strong. I did not buy an adapter. I truly love mine. As I get older, it gets harder and harder to see, so having the weight displayed right up close is wonderful. I don't think you will be disappointed.

This scope is weird. When I first got it in the mail, I went outside with just the scope and played around with the magnification. Around 18/20x, the sight picture would be slightly blurry, like someone who is slightly nearsighted. However, when I took it to the range, at 50 and 100yds, I could see my target paper just fine. I think the problem is using the 40x magnification to look at something thats only 30 ft away will cause a blurry image.I've only used this on my 10/22 and does not require a lot of adjustments between trips to the range. I would recommend this scope, but only when it's on sale. This scope is weird. When I first got it in the mail, I went outside with just the scope and played around with the magnification.

It will vary a little from scope to scope due to manufacturing variations. It really isn't important as to accuracy that they be exactly the same. The main thing is that the rifle itself is level (not canted). What I do is (using little bubble levels such as Wheeler sells) get my rifle perfectly level and then get my horizontal reticle roughly level to match (by sighting it on a target line that you know is level). Again, the most important thing by far is that the rifle is level.

Mine will not hold a zero after 10 rounds in my M-44 Mosin Nagant. I will try loc-tite but have little hope of success.The scope does not appear to be moving at all and yet the point of impact moves several inches after every shot.The scope may be broken at this point.

Without knowing what gun, type of shooting and even your eye sight I cannot answer your question. However, I can refer you to this link,(http://www.10-8performance.com/choosing-sights/). Once there click on "Choosing Sights". Hopefully this helps you.
