[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 787791, member: 63748"] I had a similar problem. Easily a 5 shot 1/2 MOA group on a new gun but ran out of windage on a 30mm tube. ? What the heck. I put the gun in a vise, removed the bolt, adjusted the vise to where the crosshair was centered on the shot group. Made sure I didn't bump the vise and stood about a foot behing the butt and looked down the barrel. ? again what the heck. The end of the muzzle wasn't even pointing on the target, anywhere. This was at 100 yards with a 20" square target. Turned out the barrel was warped the last few inches, severe enough for a 24 MOA difference. Try this method. If you have a straight barrel when you look down the muzzle with the scope centered on your shot group it should be alligned a few inches above your group. You may have a warped barrel if not. In my case the manufacture replaced the barrel at no cost. [/QUOTE]
