So I was doing some shooting today with my Savage .308 verifying my zero and getting some dope from 10-100yds. While I was at it I went ahead and did a box test since I had never bothered to do that since I have owned the scope (USO SN-3 3.2-17x44 MPR reticle CM click values). My elevation tracked perfectly (6mils dialed, 6mils change in POI) however when I got to the windage my results were slightly disappointing. I dialed 5mils left and my POI was only 3.2 mils left, dialing 10 mils back to the right resulted in a POI 3.2 mils right of my original POA. I wanted to double check these reults and shot the following target:
I was aiming at the top/center target and the bullseyes on either side were exactly 1mil from the center. I dial 1 mil and 0.5 mil right and my shots were impacting right about where they were supposed to be. However, when I dialed 1 mil left the POI was only 0.5mil left and 2mils of adjustment produced only 1 mil of POI change.
I double checked all my scope dial, rings, base, and action screws and everything checked out okay. I wanted to verify that it was not operator error so checked everything and repeated the process a couple times producing the shot groups as seen. Any ideas?
