[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 103503, member: 3745"] Dan, I had a similar problem though not as pronounced with one of my rifles a few months back. My groups were slowly creeping to right as the range increased, but did not move far enough to be a problem until over 500yds. As it turned out my scope was slightly canted, although I would have sworn it was straight. I placed a carpenters string level on the scope rail underneath the scope, and leveled the rifle. Then I hung a plum-bob at 100 yards. Wonder of wonders, my vertical crosshair was slightly out of alingment with the string on my plum-bob. I also added a B-Square scope level to my rail (which I had to shim to get level) Now my rifle is level, my vertical crosshair is plumb and my groups no longer drift to the right as range increases [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] It worked for me, so hope this helps.
