[QUOTE="permaculture, post: 538179, member: 35296"] I recently purchased and had professionally mounted, a Nikon Monarch 2.5x10 mildot on my Remington 700 Sporster in 30.06. I took it to the range and after adjusting the scope, I was able to shoot slightly under 2 inches at 200 yards from the bench. This is the best I have ever done and I was happy with it. I tried shooting prone today @ 300 yards and was shooting close to 2 feet lower than the target. I was holding over 9 inches which is what the ammo drop would be for a 200 yard zero. After moving back to 200 yards, I will still shooting low, close to 5-6 inches. I was having a really hard time with the eye-relief in prone and was getting hit in the face enough that I figured it was best to stop for the day. I was just praciticing some dry-firing at home and did not was very steady on the holds and trigger pulls. So... assuming I was holding over correctly at 300 yards, would being too high or too low when looking through the scope cause the shots to be 2 feet low at 300 yards? Or, is it just bad aim on my part? Cheers [/QUOTE]
