[QUOTE="MuleHunter, post: 248715, member: 14190"] Pardon me if this has been commented on already. I have one area i shoot in fairly regularly, usually on the weekends, about the same time of day. The wind patterns are fairly consistent to the point that i can usually estimate the wind almost exactly every time. He is only adjusted 1 1/2moa. He is trying for a 'zero' at 1000yds, could it not be just a simple matter of wind? That would account for the consistency between two rifles if he is shooting at the same times of day and at the same location would it not? (i enjoy a spirited discussion of the coriolis effect as much as the next guy :)) If you are zero left to right at 100yds and zero left to right at 300yds the only thing that can push the bullet off course is wind (unless your at extreme ranges). I would suggest shooting at a different location, during different times of day, and at different ranges keeping your 100 and 300yd zero. If your bullet is all over the place then its wind. [/QUOTE]
