[QUOTE="Ucsdryder, post: 2548170, member: 94543"] Ooookay, so here’s my update. I went out today and did a tall target test. 100 yarfs, 10 mils. I did not tape out 100, I used my rf10x42 binos which I now regret. The far left is the 7saum. 2 shots and then 2 more. As you can see it likes to shoot holes in holes! The right is the 6.5cm. It likes little groups too, I shot 3 shots, adjusted and shot 3 more. The 6.5 measured at 35 1/16” and the 7saum measured 35 3/16”…goal of 36”. I should have taped it off to confirm I was exactly 100 yards, and got rid of any possible variables, but I didn’t. So I could have been at 99 or 101 or somewhere else? The fact that BOTH scopes were off by about an inch makes me wonder if my test was off (distance). Sometimes shooting is fun, other times I feel like all I’m doing is chasing my tail. Right now I’m chasing. (Apparently I do a good job mounting my scope square though!) Not really sure where to go from here. I think I’ll need to re-do the test at exactly 100? Then if it is the scope, what’s the solution? Send back? My ZEISS 10x42 RF don’t have a way to true up the mils, my only option are scope height and distance. Would changing the 100 yard zero in the computer help? Would it make sense that where it is exactly 36” from zero to 10mph, that distance would true up the computer for long range dope? I assume it would be in the 97-98 yard range. [ATTACH type="full" alt="62DBE176-3562-4905-A5D9-3F0ECA172A0B.jpeg"]371026[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
