    Inaccurate Scope Turrets? Anyone else ever have this problem??

    Guitarguy,as others have stated,a box test will confirm the scopes tracking ability,and using a ruler at 100yards will confirm the adjustments.Once you do that,the adjustments should remain consistant.They could possibly change if your zero ends up at the exteme edge of your scopes adjustment...

    Measuring Groups

    I have a clear plastic circle template that i got from a office supply store that i use at the range for informal meausurements. It was cheap, only about the size of a sheet of paper, and lets me leave the calipers at home. Has served me well. Good Shooting Lightman
