[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2078971, member: 68875"] I have my share of misses. Sometimes it was my error (99.75%), but it has been equipment error as well. That leaves about .25% of my misses as equipment error. Wind calls are my major contributor. Some were turrets not adjusted correctly, suppressor not tight, incorrect zero distance, inaccurate yardage call, adrenalin, etc. I am not counting damage caused by falls or drops either. I can count how many misses were due to mechanical issues. 3. #1 & 2 were on game, #3 was at the range. 1. Leupold Vari-X III 6.5-20x50 that quit tracking correctly after about 12 years. Repaired and sold when it came back. 2. Vortex Viper HST 4-16x50 that tracking went out the window after 2 years. Repaired and sold when it came back. 3. Athlon Ares. Biggest *** I ever had the misfortune to mount on a rifle. NIB, would not track or RTZ. Sent in and got a new one. Same issues out of the box. Sent in and got a 3rd, returned it to the person who supplied it to me for testing and told him NEVER sell one to anyone except maybe his enemies. [/QUOTE]
