[QUOTE="britz, post: 289692, member: 7865"] Two possible problems that I can think of would be spindrift and scope not being level. To be honest spindrift should only be around 10" at most at 1000, I think... so that really isn't that likely to be the problem... and I'm not even sure which way it should be depending on you twist ( I suspect that it would be a right twist and therefore be drifting to the right.) However, the more likely culprit is that the scope is not mounted perfectly level on your rifle. If the scope is canted to the right slightly, when you turn your turret, the crosshairs will be moving slightly to the left as you dial for more range. This would cause you to aim farther right. It could also be that they are consistently canting the rifle while fireing... but I would suspect that they would be getting horizontal stringing if that was the case. Good luck, Mark. [/QUOTE]
