[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2275597, member: 25831"] It is body position..or difference in the way your eye perceives the reticle/target relationship. When I was a young man🤪 going from standing, sitting, kneeling, prone- I would see similar changes at the same yard lines (glad we used data books). Different body position. Gotta practice each one. Also, if you zero from the bench, try to apply as little of your body to the rifle as possible. Then in the prone, try to repeat, ie heavy head on the buttstock can cause the muzzle to rise more than if you have less pressure. Hard cheek pressure on one side from the prone can force the bullet to the opposite. Slight variances in the way you perceive the reticle as well (it’s all angles). Can be frustrating as h&@$. I used to think prone was my best. Now my back, neck, hips, and shoulders cramp up in the prone. Maybe I need to carry a bench in my pack. 🤪 [/QUOTE]
