[QUOTE="cooperjd, post: 2961325, member: 116132"] This is from another post on mounting optics by Form over on RS. This will give a tiny insight as to the volume of testing done. So even though the test eval's have started, keep in mind that on some of these optics with "one test", that is one test posted. If you go into the Q&A's of each scope you will see some of them Form discusses seeing the same behavior over lots and lots of samples. Here is the relevant part of this thread: [URL unfurl="true"]https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/scope-mounting-to-maintain-zero.78482/[/URL] The background quote by Form: "To start- a bit of background of why I say what I say. I am a backpack hunter. What I write below is tailored to hunting. Having sid that, I work at a place that fires a lot of ammo.
