[QUOTE="Tall, post: 990811, member: 56517"] I have a nightforce nxs 5.5-22x50. I can zero my gun at 200 yards. When I shoot 600 yards I shoot way right, when I shoot 1000 yards I am over 8 feet right with a slight wind 3 to 5 mile per hour wind gusts right to left. When mounting the scope I leveled the scope by putting a level on the picatiny rail and clamping down the rifle, then mounted the scope with a level and verified it using a plumb line about 40 yards. I have level mounted on the scope to make sure I hold the gun level. I can see the gun being off by as much as 2 feet if the scope was canted slightly but not 8 feet. Does anybody have any ideas what could be going on here. I spun the turret all the way up and it didn't seem to move off of the plumb line. I have not done a box test while shooting the gun. I am getting frustrated with my gun. I am shooting a weatherby vanguard 7mm Remington mag. Pillar bedding. free floated barrel. Leupold QRW rings, picatinny rail. Nightforce NXS 5.5-20X50 Npr-2 retical. The only thing I can think is to try it on a different gun. [/QUOTE]
