[QUOTE="Tommy1984, post: 1715877, member: 111346"] WOW.. so many helpful replies, I think im heading back out this evening for a rematch, lol.. To answer the question about cant, I haven't checked level, I had Cabela's install the scope so assumed they leveled it properly (they said they would) but I was shooting off a bipod and a rear bag.. Parallax is something I paid attention to but will keep that in mind.. I plan to recheck my zero, then go back to confirm the 400 and maybe close the distance on the 650 yard target to 600 even and retry.. One thing im thinking about is, we are talking about a rock laying on a bank here, its by no means perfectly vertical so would be easier to over shoot than if it were flat, so Im going to stand a smaller rock on top of it to try and get a vertical target.. P.S, I realize this thread has gotten several pages long now, and some have missed where I said it so ill say it again, I DO know where I hit, I was able to see the dirt impacts once the shooting was over, I just couldn't see the impact through the scope as the bipods jump clean off the table and land a few inches away, lol [/QUOTE]
