[QUOTE="Long Trang, post: 461072, member: 29049"] Ok. I'll try one final time. :) [I]That[/I] is better than a 1/2 moa gun. Evidently, you even agree, the bullet strikes are 1/8" apart at 100....even with a problem. All I'm suggesting is for the OP to [I]take the cheapest and most likely [/I]course of action to eliminate the possibility of the problem being caused by thermal variations. If he takes it to the range, cold bore shoots and discovers the POI no longer drifts, he's discovered the problem is barrel heating. If it still drifts, then he knows it's something else. Kinda like...say you decide to go drinking tonight. And you drink pretty heavily. Tomorrow morning, you wake up with a splitting headache and you're sick. Are you going to assume you have a malignant brain tumor? Of course not, you're gonna say, "****! I drank too much last night!" It's the most obvious call, the cheapest and the least complex. Like I said in an earlier post, 9 times out of 10, mechanical problems are caused by something cheap, easy and often overlooked. BTW, if the OP isn't exaggerating, with a rifle that shoots groups as tight as that, it should be a competition rifle. Dude got lucky. :D [/QUOTE]
