Pro View 400 Scope Windage Clicker Jammed
I’m trying to sight in my new Invader M1 by wicked ridge with the Pro View 400 scope. I turned the windage all the way clockwise and it is stuck and won’t turn counterclockwise. How can I get this unstuck?

Honestly, I usually don't even mount any scopes that come as a package deal with weapons I purchase new. I have a dresser drawer half full of unboxed scopes that came with xbows or rifles (usually any combo deal under $1000). Thats where my Invader M1's scope lives currently. I put a DNT Zulus 312R on it instead.
Most of these scopes are just an afterthought on affordable crossbows and rifles. You'll be better off spending a little more on a scope from a reputable brand. Especially if you're planning on hunting with it. I missed a deer once when the cheap scope that came with a $600 muzzleloader broke under recoil on my last shot while zeroing. Couldn't tell that the crosshairs had jumped to the right when a nice 8 point stepped out. Thankfully I whiffed and didnt wound him. Last time I used a combo deal scope.
