Brithunter,
If you have return privelages it sounds like the scope should be returned. If you can not return the scope, set the focus by looking at the sky with an infinity setting for paralax and the highest magnification then lock the focus adjustment eyepiece with the lock ring. As long as the crosshair center does not change with a change to the magnification you still might be able to use the scope.
As the rifle was used when purchased you should de-copper the bore. I do this with every used rifle I buy. 99% of the time I get big chunks of copper jacket material out of the bore. If you can find it in the UK, buy a bottle of Shooter's Choice Copper Solvent. Plug the chamber and fill the bore up to the top. Set the gun in the corner for 1 week. Pour the liquid back into the bottle and scrub the bore out with a bronze brush.
Check the rifling twist rate. The 6mm is very picky about the proper twist rate for the bullet length and a good many 6mm factory guns will not shoot a heavy bullet (above 85 gr) at all.
Best of luck,
Ed
