[QUOTE="Tim Sharp, post: 1755846, member: 107251"] Maybe your scope may have lost its zero. Experience has shown that virtually all scopes fail...however, some fail sooner than others. Remember, it is made of glass, brass and aluminum and the recoil generated by magnums can wreak havoc. If the scope is moving in the rings, one can check by using a piece of masking tape as a indicator by placing just behind the front ring on the scope tube. If the scope is loose or slipping in the rings, the scope will shift to the rear forming a gap between the tape and the ring. Generally this has a vertical effect on groups and will take several shots to show. Action screw torque is of great importance in particularly in a factory stock. Remington really tightens the screws on the B&C M40 stock the factory (I would say in excess of 65in/lbs). Short answer, mount another scope and retry. [/QUOTE]
