[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1361492, member: 10291"] Not sure if it is the issue, but you might check the scope. My speculation is that all lense designs/configurations are not created equal. A few years back I swapped out a Huskemaw 5x20x50 that was mounted on my 6.5x284. This set-up performed with very high consistency out to 500+yards under all lighting conditions. When I mounted my Nightforce NXS 5.5x22x50 I began to experience a similar issue of POI changes in low light or high glare conditions. I was never certain if it was me, the scope, or some other effect that caused the problem, but when I replaced the Huskemaw on the rifle the problem disappeared and my original performance restored ever since. I suspected a combination of my aging eyes combined with a parallax effect in lower ligh conditions. The approach and adjustment turning ratios between the two scopes is quite different; the Huskemaw being a fast ratio design that is parrallax free when the scope is in focus. The NF has a longer ratio adjustment and seems to be more difficult for me to discern proper adjustment in low light. [/QUOTE]
