[QUOTE="jdyoung, post: 1874561, member: 113391"] What I suspect is that the barrel being laden with copper started to shoot off target . The OP made correcting adjustments with the Turrets, ( that's what I'd do). The more fouled the barrel became, the more the procedure of shooting off and correcting repeated, and repeated , and repeated. The Erector Tube is within the scope tube and holds the reticle. Adjustments are done with the Turret screws and springs pushing against the Erector Tube, moving it up, down, left and right. When the adjustments are Maxed Out in one direction, one spring is tight, while the other is loose. This leaves the Erector Tube able to move within the main scope tube, and possibly provide the scattering of shots we see in the OP's target picture. Not entirely the fault of the scope as the situation created by a fouled barrel over powered the adjustment components and capabilities of the scope.. [I]Clean the Barrel. Recenter the reticle. Re-zero the rifle. If the group isn't restored , then send the scope in for maintenance. [/I] I'm not an engineer. But using a mirror held tight against the Objective is a method to recenter the reticle, rezero the scope if you will. [I] MY Guess: [/I]The mirror reflects the reticle image back through the scope showing two reticles when viewed from the Ocular end. One is stationary as the engineers designed., the other, the reflected one, moves with adjustments. You can recenter the reticle by making adjustments holding the mirror against the objective until the moveable reticle merges with the stationary reticle. The Scope's power is on the [B][U]Lowest Setting[/U][/B], the mirror is [B]non-magnifying[/B]. [/QUOTE]
