[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 237324, member: 4191"] Thanks for your assistance. britz - no scope level mounted on the scope tubes. kiwi3006 - I will read that article and see if it helps. royinidaho - All I can think is maybe both scopes are mounted slightly counterclockwise in the scope rings. Then when I level up the crosshairs with the horizon, the barrel may actually be a little to the left of dead center beneath the crosshairs. This would tend to send the bullet down the bore with an ever so slight rightwards trajectory. I was shooting along a set of power lines so I had the power poles and cross-members to ensure the scope's reticles were very close to plumb with the world and forces of gravity. MagMan - No bipod. I'm shooting off a forearm sandbag rest. squirrelduster - This could be the problem. I can't think of anything else. I measured between the flats on the scope rail and the flat on the bottom of the scope body under the turrets on my IOR 3-18X with feeler gauges and it's mounted pretty darn close to square. I will read through it and then ponder this some more. :confused: If the line of the bore wasn't exactly under a plumb line under the cross hairs when I leveled up the scope reticles, then I can see how at the same time the bore is pointed up, it would also be pointed slightly over to the left or right. Is that what you're thinking? [/QUOTE]
