[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 579485, member: 10291"] I have had bad days like this and I turned out to me and the next session went great. Who knows why? On the other hand I have had a couple of scopes over the years that I suspected of having tracking issues and it did turn out to be the case. In both cases the tracking issue did show up when I got back home and did a box test with a collimator . The one that I use came from Cabelas , is very well made with a series if matched caliber quides, and has a 4 MOA grid for reference that covers a wide adjustment range. At the right magnification, a solid rest, and good lighting observing .25 click movements are very evident and repeatable with a good scope. Also, when the scope comes back from repair, you can determine if it was fixed properly. After I had my first tracking problem I started doing this test when I mount a new scope. It may not be ultra precise, but this test could possibly save a lot of time, ammo, and frustration. [/QUOTE]
