[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 586660, member: 30902"] My advice would be to set some targets up at 50yds intervals from 400yds-800 or 1000yds and dope and dial with each scope/rifle and shoot two or three shots at each target all the way out. Then return to your 400yds data and see if it's still on. if it is, dial back to 100yds and see if it's still on. Barring that, do this. Use a target with four bulls, one in each corner. Starting at the bottom right bull Shoot the first one, dial up appropriately for the top right corner. Shoot it. Dial windage appropriately for the top left bull, shoot it. Dial down for the bottom left, shoot it. Then return to your origninal starting point and put two back into the bottom right target. With each of these your original aiming point remains the bottom right target. If your scope is tracking true, you will put two shots into each bull however. If it works out that way reverse the process. Shoot the bottom right first. Dial windange equivalent to the bottom left. Shot it. Dial up appropriate for top left, shoot it. Dial right for top right, shoot it, and then return to your originial setting and shoot the bottom right again. If the scopes track true for each of those, through all eight adjustments, you should be good to go to at least 1,000yds. This is my own version of a "box test" I use specifically to test a scopes tracking. If you are happy with the results and comfortable with the available magnification from each at the ranges you are shootin you are good to go. [/QUOTE]
