When it is a zoom scope, it does. Or at least mine had to be re adjusted evertime I used it. It might have been a bad scope, either way, I didn't like it. It seemed at home on a much larger gun. One that someone setting in a treestand overlooking a feeding area might use and adjust the zoom to...
Personally, the two I have are the tried and true Ruger 10/22 set to coke can accuracy within 100 yds. I have a basic point and shoot scope (don't like trying to adjust focus when I need to down a predator). I also have a semi auto 20ga for an extra measure.
