[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2311103, member: 118816"] I like keeping with the KISS principle. It seems that all of the prospective demons have been chased and put aside with the exception of one. Over the years I have found that with issues like this when no other problem can be found it's time to look at the scope or scope mounting system. I have had more than one scope where the reticle moved during recoil. The next shot would of course be off but the recoil would set the reticle back to where it was supposed to be. It has happened more than once and with high quality scopes. Scopes don't last forever. Despite the manufacturers improvements over the years recoil will still take it's toll. Just recently, in the past month a friend of mine had this issue while trying to sight in his match rifle. No two shots would hit in the same place. After eliminating everything else he took the rifle and scope in to the manufacturer who is relatively local and have them check it out. They found the scope defective and replaced it on the spot. Net result was 3/4 MOA groups with factory match ammo while benching at 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
