Have a Winchester Model 70 that I had a Leupold VX-6 on.
When I shot it last after putting the scope on to zero it it shot horrible.
I thought it was the cheap Winchester Deer Season XP shells I was using at the time.
Didnt mess with it much after that for a while until the other day.
Had plans to put the Nightforce SHV on it and when I pulled the Leupold off it had moved forward in the rings at least 1/8"
I am assuming this was from the recoil of the rifle.
I did torque the Leupold Mark 4 Rings down to spec.
First time I have ever encountered a scope moving from recoil before and now has me wondering if the scope could be damaged in some way?
What are your alls thoughts?
My plan was to put this VX-6 on a future 6.5 PRC i plan to buy so I have some time that it will not be used. Should I send it into get checked?
