Here's an interesting situation I'm working with right now. Scope is a well known brand. It's on a BR gun with an intergral rail action and the rings have been lapped and bedded for a no stress mounting. Gun will shoot honest .125-.150 five shot groups in good conditions at 100 yards so scope issues are pretty apparent.

-Owner tells me it takes a couple shots from w/e changes to settle down. No POI issues after it settles.
-Owner brings it to me and I check it on my static checker. Checks fine.
-I return it for him to the mfg. for evaluation along with all the info.
-Mfg. technical dept. calls me and says it checks fine on their collimator. They perform impact/recoil loads and check it again. Checks fine.
-I have them return it without doing anything.
-I check it on my static checker. Checks fine.

It's on one of my guns now and hopefully can check it this week, weather permitting.

Good shootin' smile -Al
