[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2002674, member: 101791"] From what I can see you are not zero @ 100yds. Your are about 1/2 to 3/4 inch to the left, which isn't dead on at a 100 yds. Nice group, but not zero. That doesn't explain the shift to the right at 400 yds. Rifle twist does play into the shifting of the bullet in one direction or the other. The grouping at 400 yds isn't what I call real good. Not sure of scope power, trigger control, That where I like a higher power scope when working up loads, and better target picture and what you are going on the target at different ranges. Once your scope rings is properly aline with the barrel changing out the scope shouldn't be a big problem. Barrelnut picture show you a problem on the mounting of the scope. Burris Xtreme Tactical Signature Picatinny-style Rings maybe a way to go. I don't presently have Burris rings yet, but on my next rifle I will try them out. So maybe somebody else can fill you in on that. In the past I use one pieces Leupold scope mounting rail. There is adjustment at the rear of the rail to shift the scope one way or another. I never had a problem with them. that would be cheaper than the Burris mounts. [/QUOTE]
