I had stripped mine too. Worthless POS little headace torx junk. Less than two weeks in my hand they also adj the elevation to center. I mounted it. Good to go. Good luck, make sure you tell you are a active USPSA shooters....hint. Thanks for the tip. Hopefully they'll be more speedy. Lol

I know 100% this isn't the case. I was there when it was milled and it was done by a machinist with a ton of experience doing far, far more technical things than milling a gun slide for a red dot. A skilled machinist is able to do something wrong with great precision. I have used a total of 5 deltapoints in the last 4 years.. I mounted them on an AR with an offset mount, on a Mossberg 930 using a modified cross-slot mount and on a pistol with an Arrendondo mount. They all allowed more than sufficient +/- adjustment. You may of gotten a pig. Send it back and get it checked out. They will give you extra lock screws if you ask. But be sure to get a good quality Torx driver and don't use the little one that comes with the dot.After further reading that seems to be the first thing people say - not to use the crappy one Leupold sends with it.And yeah, I would imagine that they'd at least give you a measly ~2" of adjustment. Not this one though.

So you don't adjust it like an EOTECH or any other scope where you make your adjustments in the direction you want the impact to go?Usually if you're hitting low, you'd adjust the optic UP. Is this not the case with a Deltapoint?

Having it at a downward angle would have made it worse for me. I needed to bring it UP. Having it at a downward angle would have made it shoot even lower than it already was.Also, it only needed to come up maybe 1.5". Leupold didn't even leave me that much adjustment on it. The POI and POA move in opposite directions. To raise the POI, the POA must move down. Shimming the sight as Mr USA and Alecmc suggest is the correct fix. Out of curiosity, what gun do you have this on and how is it mounted?Later, Chuck Glock 34. Gun was milled just for a Deltapoint.And yes, after thinking about it you're right, shimming would fix it, but it would be pretty crappy to have to shim a $400 optic because the company doesn't leave you any adjustment.

Everything was loosened properly. It stripped because the screw went past the point that the optic was threaded. It had nothing to do with the rear set screws being tight. Their is no brass block under the elevation screw. Just a round, silver thingy, which I attempted to push on while backing the screw out, with no success as the screw is already stripped and it's not going to move, period.

Seriously? First I've heard of this. If so, I'm tempted to just hopefully get the thing fixed and just sell it then. I believe there's other sights that have the same bolt mounting locations as the Deltapoint. I'll opt for one of those. Can't contact Leupold until Tuesday. As someone said, I expect a minimum of 2-3 weeks... Joy.

It's common? Wow, why in the world does Leupold send them from the factory maxed out in one direction like that?The windage doesn't need adjusting, but it's flush with the optic, meaning if it needed to be backed out, it would protrude out past the optic itself and look like junk. I would expect these kinds of issues from a cheap reflex sight, but I expected much more from Leupold.

Got too much money and time into this gun/optic to have to do something like that to it.

I loosened both upon discovering it was locked in place. Still nothing.

I've been having the optic for about a month now, and finally had time this morning to go zero it. Made sure the set screws on the rear were snug, and took a few shots. Windage was just about spot on, but it was shooting a little low. I decided to leave the windage alone for the time being and make an elevation adjustment. This is where everything went to hell. The arrow says "D" turn counter clockwise, so I turned it clock wise, to bring point of impact UP. I take a few more shots, and it didn't seem like it made any difference. I figured I just didn't adjust enough as having no clicks makes it tough to know how much you're turning. Well, apparently the sight came from Leupold basically maxed out on elevation as the screw would not turn in anymore to bring it up. And to make it even better, it apparently screwed down past the point of the threads in the optic itself, because it won't back out anymore either. Oh, and in the midst of all this, I managed to strip the pathetic excuse of a torx head screw. I guess my only option is to send it to Leupold for god only knows how long and hope they warrant it? Keep in mind, my first adjustment was maybe 1/4 turn in, meaning it basically came form the factory maxed out for whatever reason. Also, I did loosen the rear set screw before making the adjustment. Thoughts? After spending $400 on this red dot, I have to say, I'm thoroughly disappointed. Especially considering all the good things I read about the Deltapoints.
