Take vortex put in garbage, but another non vortex scope.
I'll watch a hundred videos, read a hundred books. I need to solve this problem.
Is this your first rifle with a scope? Sounds like all the growing pains for someone who just started shooting with a scope. Professionally installed just means someone else did this for you, not necessarily that they did it right or didn't make a mistake. You need to do everything yourself.I had it professionally installed. All the levels, vices, torque wrenches.
I hope you get it figured out.I bought a new Venom and had it mounted by a different place.
Was way to windy today but tomorrow will be great.
Also bought this.
Yep. Helped a fellow at the range yesterday with one, he was having all kinds of issues.I hope you get it figured out.
May I advise you to return that lead sled. Get a good bipod and rear bag, and dry fire to make certain that trigger control isn't your issue.
More good advise.Always take a wind flag of some kind.
One poster above mentioned this already but check the bolt securing the action to the stock. These can come loose, which will mess with your zero all day long.
If you don't find a mechanical issue with the scope, mounts, or the attachment of the metal to the stock, it might be worth checking the barrel for fouling, or just giving it a good cleaning.I also shot over 250 rounds to get that proficient.
This is my second rifle. I have a Savage Arms 22lr. I can put every shot in the red up to 150 yards. My scope doesn't really see beyond that.
On my CZ 527, 223. I have a Harris 6-9 inch Notched Swivel Bipod, Tigris Shooting Rest Bag, and of course the brand new Vortex Venom.
The picture attached is from 200 yards before all the foul ups. I also shot over 250 rounds to get that proficient
We will see what happens today with the new scope and mount.
Thanks again everyone.

And would suspect that part of the equation immediately, tried one of those same basic things on a Mini 14 and have nothing but bad things to say about it.So you ARE using a 16mm to pic conversion rail!
I didn't know that.
