[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 1746717, member: 71817"] If it is the scope that milo-2 quoted in his post the I agree that it does not at all lend itself to scope doping. If you were holding over the dangers of parallax errors are all to common. Whenever I put a new scope on a rifle, after I'm zeroed and getting a good group I test to see if the scope tracks. I do this at 100yds on targets with 1 inch grid marks. I'll take a lower left target on the paper and click 8 clicks up. fire. make sure that the hole is 2 blocks high (if I have a 1/4in or 1/4 MOA adjustment) then I take the upper left target and dial 16 clicks down and fire. Make sure that the hole is 2 blocks below the target. dial it back 8 clicks and fire and make sure the hole is in the black. Then I'll shoot at the center target one shot in the black. Click left 8 clicks, fire, make sure the hole is 2 squares left of the black. 8 clicks down, fire, make sure the hole is two squares down. Click right 8 clicks, fire, make sure the hole is 2 squares right, click up 8 clicks, fire and you should be back where you started. Doing this you effectively transversed the 4 corners of a square and came back to zero. I had a new Leupold vx freedom 1.5x5 that wouldn't track. Sent it right back to Leupold, they sent me a new scope in 10 days. If a scope won't track, I don't want it on my rifle. Back to your misses on the longer shots. Do you recall if there was an heat waves coming up off the ground. There's no way to dope for that condition because it is changing every second. [/QUOTE]
