I was in a car accident Saturday, and I had my rifle in my back seat. So the next day I decided to take it out and make sure my zero is still on. My first shot was dead on, then the next four was about a 2" spread. Then the weird thing is I fired 9 more rounds that measured .459". This gun has always been a 1/2 moa or less gun. Im puzzled as to why it would open up like that, then go back to normal. All groups were shot with factory hornady 85 gr sierra bthp.

A good jolt can do weird things to a scope. Just like a fall or dropping it. If it settled back in I wouldn't worry about it.
 
I am still quite pissed off about totaling a vehicle and ruining a stock that I waited 6 months for.
