[QUOTE="KY_Windage, post: 1927168, member: 108082"] That will not happen if the rifle is accurate. It is an immutable rule of physics that if your reticle does not point at the center of your bore, the track line will diverge left or right from the plumb line as you crank up more and more. Doc, one other thing - use a plumb-bob to plumb your target, not a level. You can make one in two minutes by simply tying a weight on a piece of heavy twine. It is too easy to be off a bit when reading a bubble level. I don't want to insult you or your rifle but part of the problem is also that your groups are so large and you are firing only three (or two) shots. I get the groups down at 100 yards before I even worry about tracking, because if the rifle will not group well it is going to be useless at long range anyway. [/QUOTE]
