[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1493849, member: 30902"] Who said anything about "slightly incorrect". A half inch drop of the butt will impart more than 2" of rise in the bore. Do the math on just a half inch rise of the bore at 100, 200, and 400 yards and get back with us. In many scopes if your eye is more than half an inch out of alignment with the reticle you will get an even bigger error. One of the most common errors shooting uphill from a relatively flat position using a bipod is to drop the butt considerably inducing both a significant eye/sight/cheek alignment in addition to driving down the butt of the rifle on recoil. In basic English that means his POI was consistently high by several feet. Obviously you lack the experience to even understand what we're talking about so this would be a good opportunity to learn.
