[QUOTE="DNADave, post: 1952695, member: 110467"] I managed to eek out a bit of range time this afternoon. Worked through the initial stages of loads for both of my .270 Win and my 7mm RM before pulling my .340 Wby Mag out. First and second rounds missed paper completely. Pulled bolt and bore sighted by looking through barrel and then adjusting the scope. I was looking at the berm above my neighbor to the right. My neighbor is someone I see at the range a lot and we've chatted a bit in the past. I told him what was going on and he offered to shoot while I spotted. His first shot was high, so we adjusted down some. That produced the hole in the top left just below the tear on his second shot. There was just two minutes left before the range closed at this point, so we adjusted the scope quickly and I fired one more round producing the hole below the black. Both my range buddy and I noticed that the scope was badly out of focus, but I did not try to readjust the diopter. I'm thinking I have my answer, but wondering if it would be worth going back tomorrow and see if it will group, or if I should send it back for warranty repair?
