Hello and Happy 4th!!
Got a new rig I'm trying to get zeroed for 100 yards.
Here's the details:
Larue 20 MOA bases
Leupold Mark 5 scope 5-25x56 (.1 MIL turrets)
I mounted and leveled the base/scope
Bore sighted in the house (things looked good)
At the range:
Scope was at 0 on the dial and bullets hit 3" high and 3" left at 25 yards. Ok
Corrected the windage (verifed with a shot)
Moved target to 100 yards (and assumed point of impact would be the same)
Boy was I wrong!! Next couple shots went 3 FEET high.
Let the barrel cool (as much as possible when it is 90 degrees outside)
Dialed scope down (.5 mil is all it will go)
Shot high at 100
Held 3 Mils of hold over (above the center zero cross hair)
Shot and hit paper (high of course)
WHAT AM I MISSING?
Thanks for any help!
Again, remember I cant dial down in elevetion.
Also, I decided to shoot at 767 yards and all I had to do was hold 1.5 mils
to hit the target or I would shoot high.
