[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2976647, member: 115299"] I don't know what that is. Shots are all over the place. I have never seen that except on a rifle with either a barrel contact issue or a loose mounting rail. Here is a group from one of my 308s with a VX-R 3-9x40 on it. Been on the gun 5-6 years. Gun has several hundred rounds through it. We shoot a thousand with it. Cold bore shot a 750 yard elk silhouette with a swinging heart on our last outing. This group is a typical group. We were doing some load development. No zero shift here. The low right shot was the cold bore, which is another issue. The five in the center were the next five. I am not arguing lost zero's don't happen or that scopes don't break. Or for that matter, that brand x is not better than brand y. I just think it is less scope related and more ammo, form or mount related and could often times be all three. I am basing this on 40 years shooting experience both as a professional shooter and a hunter. I just see a lot of mistakes guys make and even myself from time to time and they are more shooter related than equipment.
