    Don't shoot anything. Clamp scope/rifle so that it is zeroed on the centre. Then dial and see how it actually moves, say 5MOA windage and 10 MOA elevation. 10MOA should be 10.47 inches at 100 yds.
    It is probably the wind/terrain doing something funny rather than the scope, especially if it has worked well before.
    338 man and Tommy like this.

    Gibo go down to bunnings or mitre 10 and get yourself a couple of g clamps.
    The you'll be set, don't worry about the marks it will leave

    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
