[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2977283, member: 115299"] I would agree with the bad scope analysis if the shot placement didn’t show a pattern. The last group shows the same pattern. Center, three to the right back center left. I have good and bad days at the range. Not as extreme as the spreads shown in the pics but I can go from shooting 1/2 moa to sometimes 1.5 moa. When that happens even I sometimes have to just pack up go to the house recheck my junk take a deep breath and try it again another day. Frustration only breeds bad form and more frustration. The questions I need to ask myself are: What’s on my mind? What is bothering me? Am I paying attention to what I am really doing? Is my form good? Am I doing something different? It sometimes helps to film yourself, especially on the bad days. You can usually see your mistakes. Practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. I have shot enough in my life time that I hardly ever think about form, most of the time the shot just happens and I hit the mark. However, sometimes I just have bad days and I need to go back to the basics. For someone who doesn’t shoot 3-5000 rounds a year that is even more true. I don’t doubt that the scope change made a difference and the VX vary well could have been broken. But I think the last group is the result of confidence in his equipment. It is what he wanted to shoot so he shot it well. [/QUOTE]
