[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 561526, member: 21068"] I've got a few scopes that are currently questionable, but not yet [U]proven[/U] bad. One of them is a Nightforce 5.5-22X50 pre zero-stop. The other two are both very high end Leupolds. I've only had the NF on one gun, but smallest group I could get was 3/4 moa. I tried two loads with 3 seating depths each and two types of factory ammo. That rifle is back at the gunsmith for review, because it didn't shoot any better with one of the Leupolds, but the problem could surely still be scope.? I didn't shoot BR as long as you have, and I don't have a machine rest or rail gun, but I know I can shoot 1/4 minute on a good condition day from the bench with a good load and a known rifle. Is there a possibility of putting your questionable scope on the rail gun? I've been wanting to find someone with a similar setup to see if my questionable scopes will hold sub 1/4 minute. All the rifles I had that used to shoot that good have long since had the barrels shot out and getting re-done now, so I don't really have a super precise bench gun for testing scopes on just yet.
