Any updates?
Scope will be here tomorrow. The Monarch had a bent tube. That was why I was shooting off so much. They replaced it with a 5-24x50mm Monarch with the side focus. Hoping to get that mounted leveled and FINALLY stretch its legs.

Bent scope tube - meaning that someone along the line tightened rings downs too tight or the damn scope tube was actually bent? I'm hesitant to buy used scopes due to how I see people mount their scopes and clamp those rings down.

Yeah, they give torque specs for a reason. But, it was a really good price and I knew Nikon had a solid warranty. So I took a gamble. Looks like I got the house tonight. Usually the house wins when I gamble.

Good news @Rwjeter glad to hear Nikon made it right. Look forward to seeing it setup and the long awaiting range report. LoL

Nah you're gonna be happy you got it for that 250-300 yd shot. Looking good. When's range day coming up for zeroing. Sounds like another CMP trip to stretch it out a bit.

Ok. Finally got some range time! Here's my 5 Round reports. All testing was done at 50 yards prone. Wind was between 5 and 10 mph. I took two measurements per brand. Center to center on the outside two. Then center to center minus the flier. I'll start with the best group.

Like that Eley and the Auto Match wasn't bad either considering the wind today that's pretty good right there.
