[QUOTE="cjuve, post: 2149178, member: 31341"] Initial POI was high, first sighter failed to hit the target out of two different rifles. Second sighters out of the same two different rifles impacted 6-8” high of POA at same elevations for both rifles. I made the same turret adjustment for both rifles down 1.5 MOA, first rifle hit at expected impact elevation. It is at this time that the mirage cleared enough so see bullet holes in target. Second rifle group impact 1.5 MOA low. Fired 3 shot group out of first rifle group landed 1.5 MOA low as well. I actually returned a Mark 5 HD to Leupold last week after experiencing the same thing last weekend, it never occurred to me that the mirage would have that large of an impact. If I had not had two rifles side by side shooting them one after the other I might still be scratching my head. There was also a little horizontal shift with it as well. I can guarantee 100% that it was not the loads or heat stress in the rifles. [/QUOTE]
