[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 292581, member: 4491"] because i use 30 or so moa in the verticle and a handful on the horizontal, i perform what i call a diamond test. same thing as a box test only different. use a piece of paper that's 4 ft tall and at least a couple ft wide. target is close to the bottom because i'm about 3" high at 100 and shoot one round. i always go clockwise, not for any particular reason, just what i do. up 15moa and left 7. fire one round. up 15 and right 7. down 15 and right 7. down 15 and left 7. i only shoot one round each time and i'm also cranking the scope verticly and horizontally each time. this prints 4 groups that are in a diamond, 30" from top to bottom and 14" apart horizontally. this is the amount of travel i use the scope so i test it using the entire range it will be used. i've also mounted the scopes on a 22 and performed this test at 25 yards. a bit cheaper on ammo and no barrel wear on the big boys.
