[QUOTE="Thekid76, post: 366443, member: 21405"] man, you guys are on the ball, Thank you for the fast replies. I took the scope off and stuck it on a 280 i had forgotten about in the back of my safe. the gun had a card with it that had load data and a .5 inch group. it is a rem mountain rifle from another time in my life, any way it had some 30 mm rings, so I put the scope on this rifle and headed out with the loaded ammo that shot the .5. bingo. after fowling the barrel I tracked the scope to 0 and shot 100yard target. first round on the money but .5 low.. the next ten shots strung out to the right and off the target. for some reason this was not as pronounced on the Lapua. the 280 kicks very sharp due to the 6.5 lbs and the scope did not show this bad tracking on the heavy gun but then its recoil is straight back and lighter than a 264 win so again I think we found the problem. thanks and keep writing great stuff. marc [/QUOTE]
