Anyone have some advice.
My Ar came with a Nikon P223 in 3x9. One day I shoot it and it's dead on, ask my hog/deer/coyote friends. Now it is off to the left by 8-10' at 200 yds. and a bit low.
Last animal I hit was a doe at 165 yds, neck shot. Dumped her, a couple finish rds to kill her. I look and first shot hit her spine 2' from her neck.(I did not know at the time) lucky hit. Next 2 finish shots hit her where I was aiming. What the ???
Figured it was my mistake.
Last night new ranch, set up trap and 8 hogs come out before dark. 4 very large (200# maybe) ones. I am set up on post very stable. 200 yds, easy shot, I line up on the big ones head and touch it off. Dirt flies 8-10' to the left and low. I am in disbelief so I touch off another. No hit, I proceeded to fire a few more before they were gone. No hits. Pissed off a bit now. Great opportunity.
I took gun apart this morning, laid upper on a rest and looked down the barrel at 30 yds, then looked through scope, off to the left by over a foot at 30 yds. I readjusted scope,(that's a lot of clicks). These scopes have an external adjustable turret that does not lock but can not have moved that far without my knowledge. Scope is solidly mounted, looks level, no movement. Frustrated. Hate a gun that is not accurate 2x in a row. Any advise!
