[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 521287, member: 21068"] How many of you ever see the reticle move when the fireing pin falls? Yesterday, I tested some loads (nothing very impressive, scope was already suspect, rifle hasn't shown anything impressive with said scope) and afterwards I decided to dry fire while still set up on the bench with a very steady/stable hold..............the reticle moved [U]right[/U] by as much as 1/2" at 100 yds every time I dry fired. I'm fairly certain it wasn't me because I could pull the trigger and not move the rifle anywhere near that much with an uncocked firing pin. This has got me thinking that if just the pin vibration is moving the reticle up to 1/2", then how much is recoil moving the reticle? Next plan is to try another scope obviously, but I am wondering how many of you have ever seen similar things, and was the scope indeed bad if you did??? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
