Accuracy problems

[JoeSheepDog]

I was able to put another scope on the rifle (and YES, the Leatherwood WAS an upgrade, than you very much) and it performed well (at or better than MOA). I did notice that it does drift southwest if too heated, but only by about 3/4".

The culprit was a "wandering reticle" on the Pentax scope. Apparently, it was not locking down well and began drifting southwest after a few shots (thus stringing up northeast).

Thanks for all your help and comments.

Keep your powder dry.
