[QUOTE="bultinkle, post: 2958322, member: 122809"] An inch movement at 100 yards is not environmental. If you're actually moving .3 mrad you have an issue somewhere. Yeah that's the point lol How come we pressure scope companies to improve every single aspect of scopes except whether they hold zero and track? It's the only variable we go well I'm sure they know more than me! All these people with bad experience must just be daydreaming. Years ago the long range benchrest crowd got tired of expensive high end Br scopes moving and drifting for each shot and started building rigs to mechanically fix a bonded/frozen scope to a test scope and showed scopes were drifting around randomly from just the recoil on a 16 pound bench rifle. It ****ed off the world but it made some manufacturers change and improve and it showed guys they can't just blindly follow trust equipment because their wallet is lighter. Those companies promised those scopes worked too. If a 2000 dollar scope is shifting from the recoil of a 16lb 6BR what do you think it’s doing on a 8 pound 300 weatherby? What about when your razor slams a hole? We need to be doing the same with rough use and durability [/QUOTE]
