Yes, SJAOAF, assuming a similar scope, its easy to say that both scopes either maxxed-out or both required way excessive windage, in which case it’s likely not the scope…or scope 2 that came off a zeroed rifle also zeroed fine close to optical center, in which case its likely the first scope. I get what youre saying, but it’s just not that complicated. Sounds like scope 2 zeroed fine, 12 clicks (1.2mil or 3moa?) to zero with everything else equal sure sounds to me like that leupy was the problem.
OP Glad you found your problem, hope they sort it out for you.
