[QUOTE="H-BAR, post: 6571, member: 1281"] If you have a windage adjustable mount make sure that it hasn't come loose or that it is not working around!!! I had problems with the Leupold long range base on my gum!!! The windage screws where they hold onto the dovetail milled into the rear ring kept working loose due to extreme recoil. I bought a Ken Farrell base and Warne Maxima rings so hopefully the problem is resolved!!! Well that is what I get for mounting a heavy scope on a cheesy base and rings!!! A friend of mine said I should have used loctite on the windage screws but I feel that this would be a poor fix due to the screws being cemented in place and the ring still moving betwwen the screws. All it has to move is .001 of an inch to spread your group at 1000 by ten inches over what it would normally be!!! [/QUOTE]
