[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1845952, member: 307"] Hey Joe, Some of the things I would look at and possibly try; make sure your parallax is set correctly, along with your ocular lens/reticle. Depending on the scope, I adjust my parallax quiet a bit. I can definitely "see" the difference in the quality (aka cost) of my various scopes. Make sure your cheek weld is as identical each time your shoot as you can. If scopes were like red dot sights we wouldn't have to worry with head/eye alignment so much. While shooting for groups use as natural a point of aim as you can. Align your scope, horizontally and vertically, as close to the point of aim as possible. This, hopefully, will take as much of "you" out of the equation as possible. No, holding the forearm or squeezing the rear bag. These use muscles and it's hard to use the same pressure each and every time. Try to leave your thumb out when gripping the pistol grip. Some say the trigger's break should surprise you, I disagree with this. I want my crosshairs exactly where I need them every time. I want to be able to call each shot or at least know the reticle wasn't drifting. For me that means a trigger pull no heavier than 2lbs. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
