[QUOTE="med358-boise, post: 2591223, member: 123832"] Looking at the totality of the above, let's think about your objective and the appropriate next steps and the easiest way to get the problem and an answer: 1) On a calm day get to a range and using the best available rests and benchrest techniques, confirm your zero is actually 100 yards. (As an aside, 200 yards is more standard for rifles set up for long range and for this rifle you might consider 250) 2) After you confirm your zero, shoot a group @ 100 yards. Dial 12 clicks up (I picked 12 because its going to identify even a small tracking problem and staying at 100 will eliminate other potential errors), shoot another group and you should have 3" of impact change. If you don't, you have a veru strong indication of a tracking problem. 3) Set up a tracking target (large grid of 1 inch squares with heavy blacklines), secure the rifle in places, and actually watch how your crosshairs track as you make dial adjustments.
