[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1816884, member: 105"] I have read and reread your paragraph and I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you saying that both scopes had the same problem? If so the likelihood that the scope is the problem is very slim but if I were you I'd optically center both scopes and then one at a time mount on the 20MOA rail and then shoot a 3 shot group at 25 yards. Use a big piece of paper so you're definitely on target. If your groups are more than 1/2" at 25 yards with the scopes optically centered so they're definitely operating in the center of their adjustment range even with factory loads then just pack the rifle up and send back to Christensen Arms. If groups are reasonable with both scopes but still waaaaay off center and the rail for sure a good rail such as a Nightforce or equivalent then send it back to Christensen Arms. Your discussion of loads and where they shot made no sense to me so I can't comment on that but in a custom rifle there's no way properly constructed loads should make a huge difference at 100 yards. You might want to rewrite your discussion of what all you've done so far to clarify and I know you were likely very frustrated when you wrote it. I know you have a lot of faith in your bore sighter but shooting is always way more reliable than any bore sighter and I suggest you remove the possibility of your bore sighter being off for some reason. The likelihood of the problem being anything but something being wrong with the rifle that causes the erratic results you've been getting is pretty slim but return to basics. Have you checked to make sure the action screws are tight? Does the fired brass look normal? Don't even bother worrying about the crown causing this much trouble. [/QUOTE]
