[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 693622, member: 47325"] I've noticed that too. But it doesn't always happen, it may or may not happen dialing the scope up or using a lower mildot makes no difference. I try to make sure everything is level, my scope is level. But there is one thing that changes, the direction and intensity of the sunlight, I've had mirage cause this at 200yrds too. Maybe it's the glass it's self causes an image shift, not sure. I do know that If I go out 6am and shoot POI is 1/2' right go back out at 7pm it's 1/2" left. The paper target portion of the range faces WNW. If your dialing it in could be your scope isn't tracking strait, you can do a tracking test to check for this though. Don't forget about your body position in relation to the rifle changing every time you move from the rifle. or a gust of wind you didn't notice upsetting you or the bullet at the first portion of the flight. confirm the things you can change first: scope level, body position, your hold on the rifle, make sure your scope tracks correctly. once you have those sorted out then you'll be able to identify what affect different environmental changes have.
