[QUOTE="orch, post: 536596, member: 35688"] hey guys figured i would give you an update.... its not the scope... i clamped it down on my bench and verified the reticle subtended properly in mils (mildot ret) and then ran her through a bunch of elevation and windage changes and it tracked perfectly in 1/4 moa clicks all throughout the max/min elevation and windage range... i then took it back out to my 1030 yard target and did some shooting... this time i was at 18.75 moa to get on target(data and previous scope say 21.1 moa and previous range trip it was 16moa. I am begining to think i was victim of mirage and all that optical-refractive fun stuff... for the 16 moa day it was pretty much the hottest day i have shot in (32+ celcius) and there was definetly mirage happening and high humidity the 18.75 moa was in the high +20's with noticable mirage as well most of my longrange shooting has been in cooler weather (below 15c down to minus 20s) where i havent been hampered by mirage as much i didn't think mirage would cause a perceived 5moa change in POI but thats what i think it has turned out to be... so in short i can't pin it on the scope! just on inexperience.... or maybe i am crazy... orch [/QUOTE]
