[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 435666, member: 9281"] I have a Shepherd 310PE1 on top of my 300RUM. These scopes are extemely reliable due to their dual crosshair. I have a lot of rounds through this gun and the scope has never shifted at all on it's own. However, just like elkstalker said, you must match the scope to your rifle and load as best as you can. Point of impact still may be high or low in your circles. You have to shoot at all ranges and make notes of where you are hitting in each circle and make corrections for that. For example: My rifle was previously a 300Wby and at the time I was runnning Barnes TSX bullets, beyond 550 meters I was hitting lower in the circles the farther out I went, about 35" low in my 1000meter circle. I made notes of this and made corrections before the shot. I recently rechambered to 300RUM with 210VLD's and am now hitting perfectly in the center of all circles. I have taken it a step farther and made drop charts to go along with the reticle. I have MOA drop figures between each circle so that at odd distances I adjust my circles down and aim with the closest circle above that range, no guessing where to hold. I take into account and correct for temperature, altitude, shooting angle ect. I have made this system work out to 1,600 yards successfully hitting milk jugs. I guess I am making it work like a "dial in" scope, but I love the reliablility and confidence that the dual crosshair gives. [/QUOTE]
