[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1817082, member: 87243"] Likely issue is because you are trying to shoot the rifle in a liberal state!!!! Just kidding, I know not all of New York is, well, New York. First thing I would do is get some Burris Signature XTR rings, optically center your scope (maybe 15-20 MOA down from optical center to accommodate your rail) and then use the ring shims to bore sight/get on paper at 100 yards, then you just have to take the scope a few MOA away from center. That will sort out one issue, and make it easier to get a full, paralax free view through the scope at all magnifications, and will also make it better on the internals of the scope, not being maxed out in one way or another. This seems like the biggest issue in my mind currently. The Berger loads, are they ones loaded for that rifle or are they just ones that you had for another rifle? If the bullet has a longer OAL than the throat of that rifle allows, and they are being jammed, that can sometimes cause somewhat more significant POI shifts, in my experience. I have had rifles that when I bore site as you state, they are barely on paper @100, they are still usually within 8-10" at 100 though. Bottom line, I would just get those rings, then see if it is going to shoot accurate. If it is going to shoot well, don't worry if it shifts 10" or more from one load to another, the simple solution to that is, don't switch loads. I'm still not sure WHY it would act like that, shifts of 1-4" are pretty standard, 10" is a lot, but if the rifle is performing......I wouldn't worry about it honestly. If you get those rings and get the scope issue sorted, and it simply won't shoot good with factory loads that CA recommends or any of your handloads, that is when I would contact CA customer service.
