Can a scope cause issues with only vertical stringing?

[QUOTE="Airedale56, post: 1961323, member: 66305"] I had an old Marine Sniper Instructor point out that I was vertically stringing shots and explained the why of it during my attendance at an LE sniper school in 1988. It was caused by a (combination of too high rings vs a too low comb combination) varying cheek weld which caused me to not have consistent eye placement behind the scope during each string. The simple fix for the rest of the class was 100 MPH tape and a rolled-up balaclava to raise the comb to the right height. Consistent cheek weld due to proper comb height resulted in consistent eye placement which resulted in < half-minute, round groups. OP might be experiencing a similar issue. [/QUOTE]
