I set out to sight in my new .308 Savage Precision rifle today. I ended up getting the Vortex Viper 6.5-20 x 44mm scope, with a 30mm tube, and Mil-dot reticle. I started shooting 150 Grain Winchester Super X Bullets. During the sight in period, I would have some good 2 or 3 shot groups, but then I would have a stray shot moving out a couple of inches. I wondered if this might have been because of the scope I was using and the fact that I was trying to adjust the zero point.

It was a little disconcerting because some of the shots were almost in the same hole at 100 yards, but then I would get the rouge shot. At any rate, I used up that box and headed home a little bit concerned about the grouping.
