[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 860682, member: 71817"] I feel a little sheepish. I pulled the scope and the bases. I remounted the bases and mounted the bottom half of the rings. I put a 1" piece of pipe between the two and carefully tapped it down. This aligned the bases/rings perfectly. I tightened the bases and the ring bottoms. Mounted the scope and tightened it in. The max range in my yard is 50 yards. I shot 10 quick shots without adjusting the scope. All 10 shots were in a 2" square 2" high and 1" right of dead center. Apparently the scope was misaligned when mounted on the rifle and was not as tight as it should have been as a result. Kind of gives an explanation for the groups getting worse the more I shot, and the good grouping 80gr bullets having so little recoil that there was no scope movement during recoil. I think that with this kind of grouping I can work the load a little and get it tighter. I'd feel comfortable now with this set up for white tail. I'd be pressing to hit a groundhog though. I'll get it. Ground hogs beware. [/QUOTE]
