[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 2105410, member: 41122"] I personally dont like to use tall target test for scope tracking. Too much is leaning on a bunch of small variables. Tall target test are really good at letting you know you scope/level are mounted properly, and your setup is tracking plumb. To check scope tracking, I prefer to test the scope mounted rigidly, optically centered, and pointed at a target that is plum and level. The target needs to be close enough to measure with a tape, but far enough to be parallax free. This way i can see how much the scope moves when dialed, without being affected by recoil, group size, velocity variation, or bc variation. You can also check across multiple click values and dialing directions as well as its ability return to zero. [/QUOTE]
