How are you determining movement, or lack of, of the dot ?
You have to see your adjustments by shooting at a target.
Yep.
Very true! I speak from experience Vortex is top shelf in CS.
I’m using a bore sight laser.. i was advised to zero at 15 yards so when i insert the laser ..stand 15 yards away in my home turn on the vortex i see two dots ( laser and vortex ) i was advised to move the turrets until the vortex dot lines up with the laser for a pretty good zero but when i turn the dials and look thru the sight the two dots are in the same spot and nothing has moved no matter how much i turn the dial. Maybe im doing this all wrong or was given bad advice as i said im new to optics. Still learning
When you use a boresight you have to dial the turret in the opposite direction that you want to move the dot. Counterintuitive, I know, but you are actually moving Point of Impact. Are you using a proper boresight that fits into the barrel, but the laser emitter is outside of the barrel or are you using one of the laser bullets that fit into the chamber? The laser bullets can be wildly inaccurate. Also, as a first timer are you holding the gun and or your head correctly. It’s quite easy to hold your head or gun in a way that the don’t isn’t visible even though it’s bang on target.

Agree, bore sighters to me also are useless, like Hans said, shoot targets and go from there.
They’re not useless, but they’re also not perfect. I have a pretty good one that will get me very close, but there’s typically still a bit of adjustment when I get to the range.
