[QUOTE="OFFISHN, post: 1872991, member: 103219"] Check your scope. Scratch that. Take it off and send it to Leupold for repair. I have the same scope on a rifle that cost me close to 500 rounds down the tube before I did this to mine. I was thinking my rifle was a lemon and I could not believe that a VX6 could be bad after paying that kinda money so I tried many different bullets and powders to no avail. I was still reluctant to believe the scope was bad so I I took the scope off and sent the rifle to Holland gunsmiths in Oregon. Darrel said everything was with in spec and asked about round count because he could see the effects of the round count. Long story short another individual started telling me of his VX6 issues and how he went thru 4 to get a good one. I asked what time frame he purchased and had this happen and it turned out being the same time frame I bought my scope. Sent mine in and 2 months down the road it was returned with a repair order stating the scope had been repair. Never said specifically what was repaired. All I know is they worked on it and put parts into it. Once it was back on the rifle I found the load with in 50 rounds. 1/2” at 100 now. Barrel life now cut in half so I’m going stop there for fear of burning out the barrel the rest of the way. Send it in. [/QUOTE]
