Seems I have a scope issue times seven scopes. It also seems like this is a legit issue. So, with that said I have a question for you dudes. Has anyone else seen an impact shift when dropping the rifle on a bag and taking a shot?

What started all this was trying to get my build and break times down. I’d shoot five shots from five different positions for time trying to keep them all in the #1 diamond on the Kraft Target. When I went from high kneeling to standing I dropped the rifle on the bag from about 12” in a hatchet type movement pushing to make up time. Hand on grip, forearm approximately 12” above the bag and let the rifle drop angling down to the bag. I noticed the shot went low when I called it center diamond. I shot again to confirm and it was center. I thought that was weird so I repeated the process and first shot was low, second shot was center. My mind went into overtime knowing there was an issue, but what was causing it? My first thought was chassis. Swapped around with three chassis to no resolve. Ok, it’s a barrel issue, again three barrels with no resolve. So I texted a dude that likes to test stuff. He said nope never tested that or heard of it but I’ll look into it. Only one thing left to do swap scopes and see what’s up. The results are below and they speak for themselves. What say you?

Here is the process I used to confirm the results checking different scopes.

- All shots were from standing position.
- Held grip, the rifle is 12” above bag, release forearm and rifle falls onto bag.
- Fire first shot.
- Pan over to next target and fire second shot.
- Pick up rifle and repeat for a total of 5 shots per target/10 rounds total.

Here is the list of scopes tested:
- Gen 2 Razor 4.5-27
- Zero Compromise 4-20
- Nightforce NXS 5.5-22
- Gen 3 Razor 6-36
- Leupold MK4 Fixed 16x
- Gen 2 Razor 3-18
- Viper PST 5-25

Chassis that were tried early on to eliminate that thought:
- AIATX
- XLR Envy Pro
- Early XLR Envy

Barrels Tested to remove that thought:
- 26” Proof 6mm
- 26” Bartlien
- 26” Proof 6.5mm

The last thing I tried was dropping the rifle onto the bag dialing the scope up and down to remove any lash then return to zero and fire. It fixed nothing.

Will work for ammo….

@Lowlight feel free to move if this needs to be elsewhere.

Ok guys go easy I am a new member lol. I have a similar issue with my build and I'm looking for input. I have a Kidd 18" threaded, bull barrel, not fluted that fit tight in a factory receiver. It has the BX trigger, its in a Magpul stock, and it's topped with a Diamondback 4-16x44. I am, IMO a decent shot and have especially shot a lot of 22LR stuff but it has all been in a factory Ruger American and this 10/22 before I succumbed to modifying it. After carefully installing the barrel and having a little fun I set down to do some real work and have so far tried Winchester 36gr, Aguilla 40gr, CCI mini mag 40gr, CCI mini mag36 gr, CCI standard velocity 40 gr, Federal Automatch 40gr and I also tried that CCI copper-22 21 gr for fun. Each ammo was shot from a rock solid prone at 50 yards and no wind. I shot each one approximately 5 groups of 4 shots and struggled to keep it under an inch. my best grouping was basically a tie between the Federal, the CCI Standard velocity and the CCI Mini mag 40 gr. Federal shot a 5/8" and the CCI shot a 3/8" but only once and the next group might be 1" or slightly more. I am aware that switching ammo effects accuracy and it was indeed visible in the first two groups after switching ammo. I am wondering what to do next. Should I try top notch ammo like Ely or Lapua or something? Besides the fact that Ely has such a wide variety of selections and I'd have no idea which one to try first, I hesitate to try expensive ammo because it seems like some others are getting far better accuracy out of similar rifles with the more basic ammos. I have a friend who has a some random semi auto 22 that I can't remember right now and all he did was put a heavy barrel in it and is getting groups that almost touch at 50 yrd with the same federal ammo I used. So guys what should I do...

Good for them. Maybe they are finally now on the path to enlightenment.

I wonder what they will learn.

Not to worry- BlackRock will continue to use as much taxpayers money as necessary to purchase residential and commercial real estate for purposes of propping up the economy- at least under Briben. Nothing to see here, move along.
