[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 790113, member: 61747"] I can tell you it takes very little mis-alignment to be off 1 MOA at 400 and 2 MOA at 800. I see it more with prone shooting then BR though. Also, I see it with elevated targets relative to the shooting platform. All of those things tend to tilt your forehead forward and down. This changes your alignment a little which pushes the reticle vertically. I bet if you close your eye's and line up behind the scope, open them, note target alignment, then tilt your forehead forward and down a little you will see the shift in reticle to target alignment. This may not be happening to you at all, but it does help explain the impact points. BTW- when I shoot my bow at 20 vs 80 my site picture changes a little due to my head positioning. I have mostly corrected this issue but with fixed sights it is not as big a deal. Similar to the bow the rifle has to change position to fling lead long distance. It changes the rifle to shooter position even if it is subtle. [/QUOTE]
