[QUOTE="TucsonFX4, post: 2981602, member: 126198"] My first inclination is the scope is bad. Vortex has a great warranty, but it probably gets used more than any other brand. Are you shooting the same ammo which shot great out of the rifle originally? I wouldn’t worry about taking the rifle apart and putting it back together. It is supposed to do that and it shouldn’t hurt accuracy, assuming you do it correctly, which it seems like you are. The only consideration I will add for a change is your scope ring torque specs. I know different brands have slightly different recommended torques, but over on rokslide in the threads on scope durability, the guy swears by 20 in/lbs dry or 16 in/lbs wet (loctite). He documented scopes shifting in the rings with 16 in/lbs dry, though that was after intentionally dropping them and not from just firing them. [/QUOTE]
