I got a scope and mounted it to one of my M4’s to play around with, the scope is a Burris Timberline 201333 3X~9x -32 power.
I can not seem to get and hold a zero. Is there something about this scope that it is shaking loose of it’s zero, or am I just screwed up? I have had it close and then I shoot another day and don’t even hit the paper. Frustrating.
I know its not a high dollar millitary grade piece, but it’s not an airsoft junker or BB gun scope. I paid around $200 for it and I wanted it just to dabble around at the 100-200 yard range… but I can’t keep it straight at 50 yards.
I guess the question to be blunt is… has any of you tried this brand or this model of Burris and found it to shake off of zero with an AR platform?
Maybe I’ll go buy another 10/22 and put this on it and get another red dot for this M4. I just wanted something other than a red dot on one… just to play, ya know what I’m saying?

TIMBERLINE RIFLE SCOPES
Lean and mean. Efficient and effective. Short and sweet. Long descriptions of the new Timberline Rifle Scopes simply are not neccessary. A word or two says it all.
Timberline scopes are made to mount low on short action rifles to maintain the agile feel and balance of a short magnum. The new scopes’ profiles are quite compact, so Timberlines are in their element when in a tree stand, in a scabbard, or anywhere else space is in short supply.
Generous amounts of eye relief have been designed in to allow the scopes to point quickly and to keep your face well away from the potentially abusive recoil of heavy magnums. A matte finish adds stealth to the equation.
Of course, the four new scopes boast suberb optical performance. They are Burris’, after all. Timberlines utilize precision-ground lenses made from high grade glass that is HiLume fully multi-coated to deliver clarity and contrast whether the light is good, bad or just plain ugly.
Amazingly — even packed with all that performance — Timberlines are the most affordable Burris scopes ever offered.They even come with Burris’ Famous Forever Warranty™. There simply is no greater scope value out there.
Never owned one of the Timberlines before but it sounds like you might want to take them up on the offer.
