[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2653910, member: 64108"] Yes ! I shot my 6.5x47 was at 1,400 yards and everything was good if the wind didn't shift(~45 MOA up and 3.75 wind) then dialed back to zero and shot at 100 yards and the 1st shot was ~1.5 inches low at 7 o'clock,(WHAT ?? this gun is my go to, always solid hunting rifle) 2nd shot about another inch the same direction, 3rd shot even more left. Something is loose, check everything and it is tight. The next 3 shots go into a group that is more characteristic of the rifle but even lower. That was the end of that session as that was the last of the ammo I had, same batch, same brass, bullets, powder,, proven load, etc. I assume something came loose internally with all the dialing and it did not return to zero. That was all the ammo I had so that was where it ended. I've seen scopes loose their zero but never progressively walk that far off then settle. Scope is a March 2.5-25x52 and had been solid until now. It's hunting season and I probably won't shoot that rifle again until next year.[ATTACH type="full"]406726[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
