[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 384862, member: 4191"] The zero yard group means each and every rifle I own will consistently shoot 1-hole groups within a distance of 1 yard from the muzzle. A joke... I've never considered it from the perspective that my scopes group better or worse than one another. That's a unique perspective. My scopes either shift point of impact under the forces of recoil if they're defective, or they may move in the bases or rings if they're not properly mounted and secured, but I can't quite get my arms around one scope shooting better or worse than the rest. Does your scope shoot as well when you place it on different rifles? I shot a 3-shot 3 1/2 inch group at 1000 yds with my Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44mm. It was mounted on a completely factory 6 3/8 lb Tikka T3 in 7mm Rem Mag. Your stock Sendero barrel has twice the mass of steel in it compared to my aftermarket Brux. My point being that heavier barrels, all other qualities being equal, will generally be easier to shoot more accurately with a good rest, and typically group a little better under changing barrel temperatures during a string of shots. It's rather unfair to compare extended group sizes printed from a rifle with a 4lb barrel compared to an equally good 2lb barrel if both barrels are the same length. My first SIII has better glass than my $1500 IOR. And IOR glass is pretty good glass. The glass in my 2nd SIII isn't quite up to par with my IOR glass. [/QUOTE]
