Thread: Help with diagnosis

Pretty sure I know the answer to this but thought I would consult the wisdom of the forum first.

So this rifle had been shooting sweet, was happy with accuracy and load etc. Hadn't shot anything with it in a while and hadnt checked zero but been on few hunts.

Recently got a MTN bipod so stock come off, rail fitted, reassembled and action torqued. Scope was not removed.

Got out to zero it a couple weeks back and a few shots at a hundy and few clicks across looked pretty good but then it pissed down so I bailed.

So got out again today, straight to 200m and f me what a cluster. So looking at the target below this is what happened. First 2 shots circled to the left of target, ok I thought so adjusted over 4 clicks, next shot bang on. Swt to easy. Next shot high to right bugger must of pulled that one. Next shot further to the right in that cluster, WTF. Then In frustration I fired another 4 and got that nice group.

Scratching my head a bit I took a break, and let the rifle cool right down ,pretty happy with last group but can't figure what's going on so get back into it with a couple more shots on new target and yep she's moved even further right i was aiming for the target on the left. Tried a couple over a bag no bipod and same poi.


Anyway all I can think of is the windage adjustment on scope is stuffed but keen to hear less expensive solutions?

Ignore the holes with crosses.
