[QUOTE="7sand8s, post: 2655900, member: 40738"] So I got home last night and cleaned gun/barrel again…even let solvent soak for 20min before using brush….once brushed I ran solvent again to clean until patches were clean then ran dry clothes. Today I tried 178 match ELD…started of great…first two shots were 7”high and two inches left…made adjustment…then was 1” left….made adjustment…the whole time letting barrel cool after each shot as I have always done because IN hunting that first shot is always a cool barrel. Next shot was 1/2” right of bull….let gun cool and sent another…holes touching….then here goes the disaster. Let barrel cool to place a third shot and it’s 4 inches low and three inches left, ****ed off I threw another down range and it was 4-6 low and an inch or two right….WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON….this isn’t 500yrds. Im Wondering if scope is not right or tight….it’s a Swarovski Z6i 2.5-15x56 held with Nightforce ULTRA LITE rings…Swarovski says not to tourge rings screws over 18” lbs….Nightforce reccomend 23 I believe…I asked my buddy ( he shoots some serious competitions) what should I do and he said set it to 18 and if it’s doesn’t turn or move your good. It’s right now, well I can’t turn scope with bare hands. I did take factory rail that comes with traverse off and reset to 23” lbs and use blue loc-tite to keep them there. I’m clueless. [/QUOTE]
