[QUOTE="Rckymtnshooter, post: 1177624, member: 93937"] I recently shot a new rifle at 600 yards. Elevation and group size was great but I was 6 inches left. I did not dial for winds as it was a very calm day. Shot again a week later and same 6 inch left impact at 600. Again a very calm day. Today I worked on leveling the scope. Maybe my mistake was I releveled the scope to the rifle at home before I went to the range for a tall target test. Once at the range I drew plumb 36 inch line, shot a group, dialed 30 moa and another group. Top group was 1.5 inches off the line. Rotated the scope and repeated the test. I got the same results with the group being 1.5 inches off the line. I continued to repeat this scenario and every time I had the same roughly 1.5 inch left of line on the top group. I was rotating the scope enough that it was very obvious i was getting a noticeable cant to the rifle. I'm sure I was adjusting the scope properly bit was not getting the results I should have. Any input would be great. I finished the day by firing a group that was just below .5 so the rifle is capable of good accuracy. [/QUOTE]
