[QUOTE="paphil, post: 588958, member: 17745"] That is a good test, one that I've done many times. First step is to get a bigger paper! Those bullets hit somewhere, it would be nice to know where. Second, I would run the turrets full range about 20 times in each direction to smooth any burrs on the threads and this also assures that the lubricant on the threads is evenly spread. Be very careful not to force the turret at either end . Most of the time this procedure will correct most tracking problems. I'm not sure why the left group would be off. Most scopes are tightening against the spring when going down or left. That is why the old Best of the West videos show the scope being turned up past the desired range and then back down to it. Most newer scopes includng the NF generally have stiffer springs that eliminate the need to do that. On the groups being a little high, a MOA is 1.047 inches. Did you multiply by 1 ", 1.04" , or 1.047". Take the group height in inches for 30 MOA and divide by 120 clicks and you will have the true click value for your scope! [/QUOTE]
