I made a post the other day showing the results from a box test using my NF scope and AI rifle.

My girlfriend conducted a similar test last night using her FN and the Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50mm FFP that I gave her. We mounted a bubble level on the scope, leveled the target and then she shot the 9 rounds in the order shown below. I didn't know what to expect but the scope did quite well for a $1,200 model. My gf shoots well (when she's not having squeeze bag issues
- see 5 shots on 3 MIL dot). The handload used has proven to be consistently sub 0.5 moa at 100 yards so I think it's a reasonable indication of the tracking ability of the scope. Based on this small test it looks like the scope might track 3.1 MILS left when dialing in 3.0 MILS. Vertically it might be compounding a small error but it does return to zero. We'll do more testing with this scope and the NF over the coming months as well as testing other Vortex, Leupold and Premier Reticles scopes.
