Good morning All,
After re zeroing my 6.5 x 55 on Saturday on 15 x mag I shot a thumb nail group at 100 yards chuffed with the new Winchester 140 grain soft points group I thought I would practice before I head down to Henley on Thames with my good friend Mark on the Fallow and Muntjac next weekend. I then changed the magnification to 6 x mag and the zero had shifted alarmingly. I have now zeroed at 100 yards on 6 x mag and left it after shooting the same thumbnail group. Now to me the whole idea of having a variable mag scope was one to use in a variety of different situation low mag woodland and hi mag across the valley. Is this anything to worry about or is it normal any help would be great. Musty also say as the light dropped at the range the Meopta drank every bit of possible light and amazed a couple of guys at the range.
Cheers
Chris
