Yes it's driving me to drink haha

When your done go shoot. The problem will be gone because now it will be 8" right. Just messing with ya!

Also, try shooting it opposite handed from a bench. That would likely help tease out any movement caused by recoil or position or technique.

Just another thought...My military instructor preached a floating thumb vs wrapping your thumb like the advice came down from directly from God. I resisted initially but after having a riding crop used on my back as a reinforcement tool I made the switch which paid huge dividends as the distance and other environmental factors changed. Not saying this is final solution but it goes to point of do everything you can to eliminate human error. Now all the " never floaters" please don't hate the message of improve everywhere possible.

This thread makes me think of one thing:

When you hear hooves, think horses not zebras.

Look at wind and shooter technique before you look at the 1% factors like spin drift and Coriolis.

I was trained shoot without wrapping my thumb around the stock when shooting long range from my instructor.

Got my gun shooting dead on at 100yds went to 400yds it shoots 4 inches to the right. My scope is level [checked it twice] what could be causing this.

What is dead on at 100 look like? All dead center? Or nice group.... slightly right? Remember..1" at 100 is 4" at 400.

I'm sorry if it's been asked...not reading 9 pages...what mounts are you using

 

[buzzyb]

Seekins rings defiant action built in rail

Certainly hope you meant that you bump the shoulder back .002", not .02" Dave.

 

[buzzyb]

Yes my bad

 

[jimbires]

this could have already been mentioned , I didn't read all the replies . I think the scope would look out of wack if it was off the amount you're off . I'd say this is worth a try though .

I will have to try that. Thanks

Buzzy, take copious notes in figuring this out so you can "write a book" for the rest of us. Are you shooting off a concrete bench with a front bipod?
