[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 922143, member: 33822"] I would not count the scope out of the equation just because it is a Ziess. I went through a similar exercise years ago and changed out everything.... stock, barrel, trigger... in the end it was a brand new Leupold VX3 that had a defect from the factory. So just sharing my experience with a rifle that shot bad where I never thought the scope would have been the problem. Although I agree that your problem does not point to the scope... but to play devils advocate, could it be a focus issue within the optics? maybe the scope is focused correctly at 100, and then a parallax/focus defect is causing error at longer ranges. Not likely if you have side focus (which I think the Z5 does have), especially when shooting from a bench where your hold is very consistent. I do agree with others that a bedding job would be good just to eliminate the stock as a potential problem. [/QUOTE]
