Well I just came back from my first shoot. It wasn't bad, a few FTF with American Eagle 308 ammo , a few short strokes but it settled down nicely with premium ammo. At 50 yards the picture shows my last groupings those being the center shots.......BUT I was aiming at the top target dead center about 13"higher. Ive mounted a few scopes in my day but never had one this far off.  I have a theory why but would appreciate your comments before I share mine thoughts.

1st Group 1" low 4" far right

2nd Group 1"low 1" to 2" left

3rd .5" low .5 left. This is where I stopped and my elevation has me baffled. Thoughts Gents?

Did you boresight the scope when you mounted it?

So what is your theory why at 50 yards It shoots 13 inches low?

I feel like a A++ HOLE ....Have you ever had a day where you've brain farted? Well that's what I had. I was over thinking the problem. I was assuming the upper had to be lapped. I went back to the range and did what I should have done in the first place, keep adjusting elevation up! All is great now! She's sighted in and I was dinging the steel at 300 yrds. It does that effortlessly.

Happy Days!!!!:fullauto:

I took the Trijicon off and purchased a Nightforce SHV 3X10X42 and a Warner mount. The rapid transition sights were a really tight fit with the Trijicon.
