When a scope loses its zero when it is dropped(in this case wind-age and elevation) can the scope be re-centered inside or do you loose that adjustment forever?

Sometimes if the turrets don't seem to work right running through their entire range eliminates the issue.

Turn the windage turret to the left until it stops. Count the number of turns it takes to go all the way to the right. Back up half the number of turns back to the left.

Same process with the up and down turret.

Doesn't always work but when it does it sure makes me happy.

TBG has given you about the best option, the only thing I can add is that once you have the center position reestablished, bore sight and go shoot.

I re-zeroed for now. Have mil dots set so I am good to 400 yards at the moment. as soon as my next hunt is over I will recenter and see how it tracks. I don't really twist turrets with this scope it just bothers me that it got knocked so far off by just simply falling over in the rack (gust of wind hit a sign that knocked the gun over).

Thanks for the replies guys!

Timely post to be sure. Monday my Combination took a swan dive out of a ladder stand. Damaged the scope bell and at range time on Tuesday found it was only 17 inches off to the right at 50 yards. Took 103 clicks, surprised the adjustment had that much "give", to get it back to "zero". Looks like nothing internal was severely broken and several additional shots confirmed no change in POI after the adjustments.
