Great post!
Yes, it was! When a scope does as expected, that's always nice. But what's REALLY critical is repeatability (assuming turrets here). If it repeats, I can dope it by shooting, and make a chart <g>, and rock on.
This was a 100-yd scope test with a big Conquest on my Sendero. I extra-tested the scope by dialing 4 MOA for
every shot. The movement in the windage direction was disturbing but I must say, I never saw it whackin' steel.
Sold the rifle but hung onto the scope.
