[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 779701, member: 17844"] The fact that it started shooting higher could be the change in how you shoot at 200 , moving the gun in the rest or whatever . It just seems strange that you can produce a no vertical group at 100 and then the gun goes crazy at 200 . Sure it could be bedding but it could also be something simple like you are digging the sling studs into the bags or the rear bag system is no good . Or you are not controlling recoil. The only way to rule things out is to only change one thing at a time. I tend to agree with Sully2 when he says practise at shorter range and perfect a good style and when the three shot groups get nice and tight branch out to a longer range , but keep the same technique going . I once helped a guy In Germany took months and dozens of emails but in the end a photo of his gun setup at the range told me what the problem was . Rear bunny eared bag backwards , Makeshift wooden bench was useless , sling studs still on the gun and digging in . It is usually what they don't tell you that is the problem. Changing the scope is always a standard check that you can do just to be sure it's ok . Scopes can do some weird things for sure. I would be surprised if a NF is not holding zero but you never know . Did you dial the elevation knob to shoot at 200 ? For the zero to move 6 inch off at 100 after a bump then something had to give . Maybe the erector tube springs are gone in the scope . [/QUOTE]
