I've recently acquired an old Ruger 44 carbine, the finger groove model. The gun's a beauty and seems to have been fired and used very little. I want to use her for a pig gun, with ranges of about 50 yds. Since my eyes don't work too well with iron sights anymore, I mounted a Leupold 2-7 Rifleman scope on her.
I get good groups at 50 yds, usually small cloverleafs. However, there's no consistency. I'll shoot a tight group, stop, reload, and shoot a second group, but the groups will be an inch or two apart. Could this be a parallax issue? In other words, since I'm putting the gun down to reload, I'm sure that I'm looking through the scope at a slightly different angle.
