[QUOTE="MarkA, post: 1695646, member: 5220"] You still know nothing until you tall target test your scope. At 100 yards setup 36" or so tall target, shoot a shot with your 100 yard zero at near bottom of target then dial up at least 15 moa and shoot again with same point of aim measure the actual poi difference between the 2 shots. If they don't measure near exactly 15.70 inches you have a dial problem with the scope itself. Use your original turret not the custom one. My guess is dialing more or higher per moa than 1.047 inches at 100 yards. I personally use 20 moa dialup for scope testing which should measure 20.94 inches 21 inches is great!! ;) I draw a good plumb magic marker line up the target which can also tell you if scope is dialing straight up, if it does not dial straight the line then either the scope has an issue or your not mounted level and plumb above bore. What ever you are "off" at a 100 yds exponentially will be 10 times that at 1K. [/QUOTE]
