[QUOTE="hvychev77, post: 961178, member: 81263"] WOW!! Thanks for all the replies!! Well, i'll try and lay out a few things to clear some up some of my confusion from the original post. So, here goes......... Scope base, rings, all snug as a bug. I typically mount all my scope base, rings and such with a dab of medium grade loctite and have never had an issue, even on my 300 win mag. i'm using an egw 20 moa base with burris zee rings. my misses are consistent, they're just a bit short, maybe a touch to the right of the target. The wind this particular day was kind of hit and miss. I do not have an accurate way of measuring wind yet. I need to look into some atmospheric measuring tools for the future for sure. I have hit this target previously, but do not have alot of trigger time on the gun yet. I'm zeroed at 100 yards, and the scope tracks properly. I am positive this gun shoots sub MOA. I am cutting bullet holes on paper at 100 yards. I'm pretty sure that an inconsistent load would be observed there, wouldn't ya think? I weigh each charge (H4895 - 41 grains), and measure each completed round at 2.803 col. I feel confident that round for round they are very consistent. I am shooting from a Harris Bi-pod up front, and sandbag on the butt of the rifle and shooting prone on the ground. The trigger on the gun feels good for now, however, i have plans to switch it out. I have played with the parallax some on this scope, i think i have a pretty good feel for it but definitely need more time. I think that covers most of the questions, and I greatly appreciate the speedy replies and offers to help. I've definitely found a good place!! Thanks again and keep the feedback coming! hvychev77 [/QUOTE]
