[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 1001557, member: 50419"] When I got it all together this summer, I sighted at 200. Then I went to 400 and it was shooting a little bit right. So I made a few adjustments, life was great. Then I went out to 685 a few weeks later. It was shooting left, so I tuned a few things out and got it on a 700. I am just concerned that some of this is due to misalignment. I have a anti cant level that I am pretty specific about. So I ordered a good tool to check alignment. My bases actually line up pretty good. They may be just ever so slightly misaligned at the bases, not even sure if it is enough that I can really tell. I just need to do some good thorough testing to make sure for piece of mind on my own, to know if it is something with the way I was shooting, or something of misalignment. In theory, if I did the shooting test with the plum line and turning the turrets to different elevations, I should be able to essentially rotate the scope to offset any misalignment that there may be, in theory, correct? I should be able to rotate it so that my points of impact are in the same line, even if there was misalignment, correct? [/QUOTE]
