[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2133112, member: 116563"] So this has been bugging me, and I'm curious if its common/normal or correctable. I've been consistently noticing left/right POI shifts randomly throughout range trips. NEVER up and down. Just left/right. Sometimes 1/2", sometimes 1", sometimes nothing at all. I never noticed this at all last year, but after 7 backcountry hunts, I'm noticing it, and wondering if I did something while hunting/packing meat. Been doing a lot of tinkering/load development now that it's the off season and making tons of trips to the range. Even shooting the same load as the prior trip, sometimes I will see a shift. The gun is a custom 28 nosler and a tack driver. Consistent 1/2 MOA with several loads. What could be causing this? Is it me? Is it normal? Is there something minute with the rifle that could cause this that I should look into? I shoot from the same position every time I go to the range. So I'm not changing any aspects about the rifle support or anything also. I also tested out 3 scopes since the off season and have noticed it with each scope. VX-6HD, NF ATACR and NF NX8. So it's either something I'm doing, something my rifle is doing, or normal/common. But 100% not the optics. [/QUOTE]
