[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1606033, member: 93846"] Sounds like you've got your fundamentals of marksmanship where you want them. That leaves mechanical issues... When dry firing, how much POA shift are you seeing when the firing pin drops? (preferably in terms of MOA or Mils. Just specify which you are using) It is unusual that the shift isn't varying in one general direction. Is the action bedded? Could your action be shifting in your stock? Have you tried a different scope? Is it possible that your reticle is moving because of the jolt of your firing pin impact? Possibly but, not likely, a lense loose or internal scope tube cracked. Maybe a Picatinny rail mount to rifle loose? I use J.B. Weld Steel epoxy to stress-free bed my Picatinny mounts to my rifles. (PM me if you want details of the procedure I use). After you've checked all the usual culprits, you may want to try a lightweight firing pin (titanium or fluted) and a lower poundage firing pin spring. [/QUOTE]
