[QUOTE="shortpants, post: 598596, member: 30564"] I believe Broz is correct because the same thing happend to me. Go buy a scope leveling device (I used a Level-Level-Level). Once your scope is level set up a target at your zero yardage (mine is 100) and draw a vertical line about 36" in the center of your target (plain old white paper will do). The vertical line must be perfectly plum after setting it up at your zero range so take a marker and plumb line or level with you to the range. Put an aiming point at the bottom of your line and zero the rifle at the aiming point. Once you are confident that your zero is perfect just dial up your scope one full revolution BUT DON'T FORGET TO TURN IT BACK TO ZERO AFTER THIS TEST!!! With your target still at your zero range and your turret cranked up a full revolution shoot another group. It should impact towards the top of your vertical line you drew on the target. You have to shoot consistent if you expect accurate results. This is a great time to check how accurate your vertical corrections are on your scope. Measure the distance between groups and see if the distance matches what you dialed. I believe this test will solve your problem but remember you have to shoot straight in this or any shooting test to get good results. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
