[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 289859, member: 2261"] Sounds like the scope reticle is canted. Spin drift will not get you nearly the error rate these guys are showing. Sadly, more than a few scopes leave teh factory with a slightly canted reticle. Did they verify that the scope is verticle to the line of sight? I check mine by leveling the rifle using a USO action-based anti-cant indicator, but any such device will work. Step two is to look through the now leved rifle and verfiy that the verticle line on the reticle is following a true verticle line - in my case a piece of thin string with a 1lb weight tied to it and hangng freely. Chances are that their scopes are not oriented properly, and the canted reticle is causing the problem. JeffVN [/QUOTE]
