Earlier this week, I got out my Ruger 44 carbine, to check the scope. It wears a Leupold VX2 2-7X33.
Standard rifle target, set up at about 60 yards. Solid rest to shoot from.
First two shots appear to be in the same hole, about 3 inches left.
Third shot doesn't even hit the paper.
I assume I just pulled the third one off, and started adjusting the scope, to the right.
I never got close. And couldn't get the rifle to shoot consistently enough to know how to adjust the scope. Several times I would not even hit the paper.
My last four shots, I didn't touch the scope. Shots 1 and 2 were dead center, but about 2 inches high. Shots 3 and 4 were 2 inches high still....but now about 5 inches to the right.
I used the same ammo the whole time.
I checked my rings and they were tight.
I checked my base and it was solid.
Any ideas on what might be going on, and how to fix it?
