[QUOTE="BKM, post: 1719776, member: 71899"] Vandy321, I’m not throwing off on ur rifle at all. Please don’t misunderstand. U stated that u went back to the range and shot again and was 1” high. Maybe i missed something in ur post. U didn’t state the distance u shot. I assumed u were probably shooting 100 yds. If that is correct then u are 1 moa high. While that’s not going to cause u to miss an animal at 100 yds it is cause for concern. When u move to longer distances u are still going to be 1 moa high. 300 yds is 3”, 500 yds is 5” and so on. That much difference can get u in trouble. While it’s not uncommon for good rifles to shoot dirty cold bore shots slightly different than when the bbl is warmed up 1 moa seems excessive imo. I just don’t want u to miss or wound an animal and ruin a good hunt. Leave ur rifle fouled and learn where it hits when the bore is cold. Best of luck on ur hunt. [/QUOTE]
