[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1961148, member: 101791"] Scopes I have had problems with either it wouldn't move when trying to adjusted or moved very quickly after setting zero, or slowly over a period when shooting groups, or move off the target completely in round or two. The one that really through me was it didn't move much but some all the time. The one scope moved a little to the right and up when shooting that group. Letting the barrel cool down before starting the next group. Noting that the next group started off about where the group left off. Moving to the right, and up, by the end of the day it would be about 1 1/2 over and up by that amount. I was working on loads and grouping. For sometime I was thinking it was the change in the load. Finally got max load, and settled on, bullets, grains of powder, primers, and COAL. Then it all came together that my scope was changing with the 5 shot groups. The rifle still shots great groups, but I put one hell of a lot of rounds down the tube. Live and learn. SSS Mike [/QUOTE]
