[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 171030"] "Scope quality can be measured by how good it tracks." Yes but not by using a rifle that can't shoot .0000 (impossible any way). Couldn't you just click the scope and note the position of the scopes cross hairs? If you're going to do a test you can't use a rifle to determine if a scope tracks correctly to many variables in the rifle to have a "true" scientific test performed. You would have to use the scope independently of the rifle for a test of the tracking abilities. If your saying that the scope tracked well when used with recoil and shock then I'll buy that. When tracking a scope and firing the weapon it shouldn't be used to determine if the scope actually tracks correctly. The point of aim and point of impact must both be equally accurate. If your gun shoots .25 moa @ 100 yards then you would have an error of .125 moa while your scope has much less of an error probably in the +/-.005 thou. As one member pointed out everything must be exact, the scope is level, what supports the weapon is level and the target is level. IOR scopes claim a true .25 moa or (.5 moa) which is not .25 inches but .26175 (.5235) respectivly. At 110 yards one click actually equals .2885 (.577) and one moa is 1.154 as compared to the 1.047 true moa @ 100 yards. Your target is the standard 1 inch squares you will not be "dead nutzs" on anything if your tests do not relate to each other in accuracy. I understand the test you're doing here but I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea about high quality scopes not tracking as mathematically they should. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
