The scope in question is a 3-9x40 from a well known/respected company. I don't want to bash anyone so I will leave out the name for now... the scope retails for ~$150 new.
Here is my issue this scope was bought new to mount on my Weatherby Vanguard S2 7-08. I used Leopold rings/bases to mount the scope. I have removed and re mounted this scope 3 times and haven't had any better luck. This scope rifle combo will not shoot repeatable groups at 100yds. I have tried 2 different factory loads and tried hand loads and it just won't shoot well.
The POI is inconsistent and changes even while not touching the turrets. The view doesn't seem to stay focused either. I couldn't see a 7mm hole at 100yds with this scope and after some focus adjusting it got better. After a few shots it got fuzzy again.
I was having an easier time seeing the hits with a BSA scope from Walmart. I think I have a defective scope, but I'm not sure. I have mounted probably 15-20 scopes of different brands, models, price range, etc. and never had an issue like this.
Do you guys think its the scope or the rifle.any help would be greatly appreciated.
