[QUOTE="RMulhern, post: 693553, member: 999"] Get you some meat wrapping paper or a smooth piece of cardboard about 60" in length and stabilize it against a backstop. Drive a nail at the top of the paper and hang a string from a plumb bob in the center of the paper and use the string to establish you a true vertical line on the paper with an ink pen or black magic marker. Put a small bullseye at the very bottom of the drawn line and from 100 yards or so fire you a shot and see if you are centered up on the small bull. When/if you are centered up....crank the elevation on your scope up to say 25-35 MOA and holding on the small bullseye again....get a good breaking shot and go see where the shot strike is in relation to the vertical line you drew on the paper! Prior to this a requirement is to make certain your scope is not canted on your rifle and there are gadgets available to help you ascertain that the scope is leveled to your rifle! Quite often, depending upon the make of a rifle it's not uncommon to discover that the scope will not be inline with the center-line of the bore and this can cause what you've been experiencing with your shots being off center!
