[QUOTE="tlk, post: 566696, member: 11397"] OK, here is the original target that called out the issue. No top of the box, only lower (it was so "off" that I wanted to re check my gear). Note that there are two shots high from center as I was sighting the scope back in, they are not part of the tracking test. [ATTACH]3691.vB[/ATTACH] What is different about this test is that I shot twice each in order: center, low right, low left. I then dialed through the triangle again for a single shot at each, just to make sure there was an issue. Seems to return to zero fine. Center group: 0.274" Low right group: 0.786" Low left group: 0.641" Gene, to your point I made sure in both tests that my target was level (used a level) and the rifle was as well. Scope and rifle are aligned properly. I will do the tests suggested this weekend. OK, maybe I am dense, but even if it isn't tracking, it still shouldn't open the groups up like that. The only time I have seen that is when something is loose in the scope; had it happen once - every time the firing pin hit the crosshairs would jump to a new place. But the center group confirms that this isn't taking place. It is a mystery to me. Do any of you know the reason for this? Thanks for help. Greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
