[QUOTE="Canvsbk, post: 681173, member: 46686"] The scope is a Leupold 4.5x14 / vx2. It's on a Ruger .25-06 that I had intended to use for pronghorns this fall but I've really been struggling with accuracy on this rifle so I turned it over to my smith. After he scoped the bore and did a trigger job and removed the heavy build up of copper (I was positive I had it spotless) he was able to shoot groups right at 3/4 of an inch which I can live with. Besides the fact that the bore looks like I've been shooting rocks down it he said the parallax was off about an inch @ 100 yds. He said getting it set correct would help some too, therefore my question in the op. After just 210 shots, none at max, the throat is almost gone on this rifle and needless to say I'm more than disappointed. I think I can see a new barrel in my not too distant future. Thanks for your explanation, I'll get it handled. [/QUOTE]
