[QUOTE="Broz, post: 951009, member: 7503"] Rings that are out of alignment will induce stress on the scope tube and can have an effect on the travel of the turret in relation to moving the reticle. So do I have this correct? You shot zero and it was on at 100 right? You dialed up 12 moa and shot again using the same point of aim as your zero and the point of impact was 1" low or about 11.5" above the zero? Then you dialed up 24 moa and shot again still using the zero point of aim and it was 3" low or only 22" above the zero group? Also when shooting these in like this we must remember the error factors both human and mechanical. So if the rifle , ammo and shooter combination is a 3/4 moa system the 12 moa was not terribly far off. But the 3" at 24 moa is a lot. Now the next question is when you dial up 24 moa you do still have plenty of elevation adjustment left correct? I have seen some scopes track a little less the last few moa at the top. Jeff [/QUOTE]
