[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 197091, member: 319"] You need to nail down the click value on your scope, while eliminating other variables (is it securely mounted now? Are you sure it's holding zero?) or you may be chasing your tail for a long time. Try a yardstick test at 100. Put the stick vertically on the target. With the rifle very securely held, put your crosshairs on the very top of it and have somebody else crank the turret while you watch the reticle. Ensure it moves smoothly and that each click seems to move the same amount without getting hung up or jumping at all. See how many clicks it takes to get to the bottom of the stick. Do it a few times until you're sure of the answer. That will tell you what your scope is doing without including possible errors created by shooter, rifle or mounts. [/QUOTE]
