[QUOTE="Tall, post: 820134, member: 56517"] I know i am never going to win a Long Distance shooting contest with this gun at 1000 yrds. I just want to be able to produce reliable first round critical hits on an animal. My concern is that if I was holding 2 feet to the left and putting a 5 inch group in the middle of the target, even if there was a 9 o'clock 5 mph wind my chart says 7.83 inches or .75 MOA. If I was canting and there was a wind witch to me it seemed I had a 6 to 7 o'clock wind that was mild to no wind, maybe 3 MPH at best. I am buying a scope level today but I can't go shoot again until Monday. I plan to double check the gun level and scope level just to see if there is an issue there. I also plan to shoot a target adjusting the MOA's up in 5 MOA increments. My hold over at 1000 yards is 20.49 MOA. One thing I have learned there is always a variable that is making an effect. Its just a matter of ruling every possibility out until you find the solution. Just trying to start out with the most obvious ones first. [/QUOTE]
