[QUOTE="jaybo, post: 1505947, member: 46742"] Had a similar problem years ago with a Sako 85 270win with a Zeiss conquest 4x14x50 scope on it. It always liked 3 fouling shots then would shoot 1/2 to 3/4 groups. Missed a doe at 200 yards shooting out of a box stand with a good rest one day and couldn't figure out what happened. I thought I had gotten water down the barrel as it was raining a lot that week. Cleaned it, shot 3 fouling shots then went to our camp range and it was way off. Long story short, the scope had a broken spring and every time the rifle was set on its side or turned upside down it threw the scope off. Three shots settled the cross hairs back in place until the rifle was moved again. When riding to my stand on the four wheeler I hang the rifle upside down on my neck to lesson the bouncing on the rifle. Each time I did that I didn't have a chance of hitting anything. Sent the scope in, new spring, and no more problems. My groups always started high then got lower with each shot. The third shot was on and all others followed, until I flipped the rifle. Try a proven scope before you get to drastic with the rifle. [/QUOTE]
