[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 189471, member: 2852"] I see two possibilities here. Gyroscopic drift will impact bullets to the right but shouldn't be over 30". But it could be possible. Some guns exhibit bad drift and othes don't show any at all. The other possibility is canting of the rifle. The only really good way to mount a scope is to level on the lug raceways with a reticle leveling window tool. The level a target board and parallel the horizontal crosshair with the top of the board to double check. Putting a level on the top of the turret sounds like a good idea, but they are not always parallel with the horizontal crosshair. Check these two things and if it still has a problem then send it back to Leupold. You will have it back in under two weeks. [/QUOTE]
