SOURCE: Crosshairs are cocked to the right.
1. You first make a 'plumb line' to compare your cross hairs to. Go out about 15 - 25 meters and hand a length of para-cord or reasonably thick string (so you can find it easily in the scope), weight the end of the cord will some lead weights. I've even used some box end wrenches tied to the end in the field.
2. Fill a small ice-cream pale or similar with a couple liters of engine oil that the weights on your line with hang in. The oil will eliminate the line from swaying by dragging on the weights and ensuring verticality
3. Place the rifle in a secure mount and re-enforce with some sandbags.
4. Line up the scope (mounted on the rifle) with the line.
5. Use a small level to ensure the rifle is as close to perfectly level as you can make it, both front to back and side to side.
6. Loosen the scope in the rings and adjust the scope untill the cross hairs are vertically in-line with your plumb line.
7. When you are satisfied tighten the scope down and use some medium stength (blue) locktight on the screws. Use the manufacturer's suggested tourque spec and Avoid Over Tourqueing the screws. Some specs are as little as 10 - 20 INCH pounds. Thats around one to one and a half FOOT pounds
It takes some time and a little prep work - but if done with some care it can yield fine results. Remember to use caution when tourquing the screws - people often confuse INCH punds and FOOT pounds. the conversion is 12 Inch pounds to 1 Foot pound.
If you can't get a proper tourque wrench you are better off using a little less tourque and utilize some Lock Tite to make sure the screws wont move down the road.
Good luck!
SOURCE: NEED REPLACEMENT PART FOR TASCO 4X15 I NEED THE CROSSHAIR PIECE
im sorry but the price of that scope is not worth getting new crosshairs, you should just go get a new scope at walmart. they are like 9 bucks. But i myself would get a better scope, you can get decent ones for liek 60 bucks. Last a lifetime if you take care of them. The best scopes can cost 800 dollars on up. Just get a new scope. the part would coast more then the scope.

You can unscrew the rear sight from the scope and that will expose the crosshair aperture. Place the tip of an awl or small screwdriver into one of the two notches and unscrew the aperture. Take it easy as it is made of brass. Once out, flip it over and you will see the 4 solder points on the back. Find a piece of small/fine braded copper wire - the type used in electronics. Skin and an unbraid it into individual strands.
Use a soldering iron to remove the old solder on the aperture. This will expose the notches for the crosshair wires. Stretch a single strand of fine copper wire across the aperture making sure it goes into the notch on each side. Solder one end and then pull it tight to do the other end. repeat this process for the 2nd crosshair wire. Screw the aperture back into place making sure it finishes in plus sign position. Screw the rear sight back on and you are ready to go.
