UGHHHHH I think my AO broke!

[Jman]

It wont adjust except to infinity. Just my luck... It focused well before I let the gun sit horizontal for 2 days. What happend? Does Crosman or centerpoint warranty the scope, and how long does it take for turn around?
Thanks,
Jman

What scope did you have on it?
I dont know about Crosman warranty on the scope but I know about replacement scopes that are specifically for springer airguns.

You got 60~100 bucks?  A BSA 3-12x44mmAO is 44.86 +shipping at NatchezSS.com.  Springer rated but no mildots, it has a "truplex" reticle.  Thats the cheapest awesome optics I know of and have quite a few on my guns.
Then there's the Leapers 4-16x50mmAO mildot at PyramydAir.com for 81.75 + shipping...or spend a little more on some pellets or something and get free shipping when the order goes over 99.99.
Then there's the last resort(in my opinion) of the Walmart Centerpoint 4-16x40AO mildot for 70 bucks.

I really like the scope, just i dont know whats going on. Its a 3-9x40 centerpoint with the mils

actually, I just shot it, and zoomed out to 7x instead of 9x(What I always keep it on) and its clear as crystal now until you zoom back to 9x. Maybe Im imagining things...haha

Actually, a lot of scopes are a little fuzzy at maximum magnification. Particularly around the edges. They really give the best performance up to about 90% of maximum. I use my 3X9's at about 8 for targets, and only go to 9 when the distance is much further out and I can't lock in on a small POA, the eyes just ain't what they used to be!

At full magnification, the AO becomes more critical, so you may have to rotate slightly one side or another of the printed distance on it.
Those printed numbers are almost never perfectly calibrated, so moving around a bit either side of them will often get your parallax zeroed out.
Temperature also can effect it a bit.
You have young eyes, so you can just watch closely through the eyepiece as you rotate the objective in tiny increments, then stop when the focus is at its sharpest.
