[QUOTE="FullCurlHunter, post: 170902, member: 5856"] My Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight chambered in 300 Weatherby was a tack driver and with the very same load as I regularly shot .5 inch groups with at 100 yards recently shot as follows. 100 yards, great .5 inch group 3 inches high. I could cover the 6 shot group witha quarter. I cleaned the barrel and went down to 300 yards. I adjusted the side paralax from 100 to 300 to accomdate the yardage change. I en started hitting 7-8 inches high where I then had to re sight in to be dead on at 100. I went out again today adjusted paralax to 100 and from a clean barrel I was 3.5 inches high at 100 with sub par groups. I took it out to 300 adjsuted paralax to 300 yard setting and then shot 5 inches low at 300 where the previous day at the range I was dead on at 300 yards. Have you ever heard of adjusting the parallax and it greatly affecting the point of impact at various ranges? I think something is messed up with my scope and this is the only variable I can think of besides shooting with swivel bipods. What are your guys' thoughts on swivel bipods, my dad thinks it is the swivel bipods throwing everything off. I think it is something to do with my scope. It is a Zeis 4.5-14x44mm conquest never been biumped ever... Thanks for your thoughts [/QUOTE]
