[QUOTE="KY_Windage, post: 1928326, member: 108082"] It would be easier to see with a more accurate rifle, but it appears Doc has the very common problem of the reticle not quite pointing at the center of the bore. Imagine this rifle is locked in a gimbal that permits it to move only up and down along a plumb line. Instead of pointing at the bore, this reticle points to the right of the bore. The dots are places at varying distances the rifle can hit as it moves up and down. The reticle intersection is on the 100-yard dot, where the scope is sighted in. But try to use one of the lower hashmarks and you will hit to the left of your POA. The lower the hashmark, to further off to the left your hits will be. Use you windage turret to put the bottom hashmark on the bottom dot, and it will no longer be correct for 100 yards. This is most likely what Doc's problem is. He could have a hundred other problems, but I'm guessing this is it because about 90% of the rifles I seen had this problem. Nearly every one of them drifted laterally when you cranked up, because no one had ever aligned the reticle with the bore.
