[QUOTE="jaybo, post: 1197573, member: 46742"] Nobody, let me ask you this, are you leaving the rifle on its rest, sand bags, bi pod, or what ever you are shooting off of or removing it after each shot? The reason I ask is because both times this happened to me, if I left the rifle on my bags between each shot it grouped sub MOA. If after each shot I removed the rifle and either stood it on end or laid it on its side my groups drifted. The reason I was removing the rifle was that I was working with several rifles and would swap them out to let them cool between each shot. As I got down to the last rifle I was having trouble with I left it in place and placed a towel over it to keep it out of the sun as it cooled. It then put 3 shots touching. As I tried to adjust it vertically, it wouldn't track properly and that is how I discovered I had a problem. The first time was a similar situation but a gun smith told me I had a busted spring and even named which spring it was. I sent the scope in and it has been fine since. The second time was recent and the scope is still in the shop. [/QUOTE]
