[QUOTE="tackdriver10, post: 454518, member: 21430"] This is why we should always check after equipment before sending bullets downrange. [URL]http://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab251/tackdriver10/Rings1.jpg[/URL] If you'll notice the mark in front of the ring, you can see that the scope slid completely forward until the ring hit the variable power knob. Those are Max-50 rings from Badger Ordnance, but it doesn't really matter what kind they are if they aren't tight. I had just fired an 8 inch 3 shot group at 900yds. Not exactly benchrest standards, but it was virgin brass, and prone off a bipod. So I was pretty happy until I started shooting all over the place. Oh well, at least I wasnt shooting at a trophy critter. Now I gotta go back and relevel and re sight-in. I was thinking of buying one of those new levels from Flatline Ops. Guess now would be as good of a time as any. [/QUOTE]
