I have a Nightforce 5-25 ATACR F1 scope. I mounted it on a custom built 6.5-06 AI with a Stiller Predator action with the Stiller picatinny base and Nightforce rings. Until recently, I was shooting 100 yard .30", three shot groups and hitting targets and prairie dogs at 300 yards. The rig began to shoot all over the place, even off of paper. New Night force rings were installed, torqued to specs and the base was double checked. It still shot all over and off of the paper. The last three shot test group results were: first shot on, second shot was at 2 o'clock 3-4" off and the the third shot was off of paper. I sent the scope back to Nightforce and their techs reported that there is nothing wrong with the scope. He stated that when the rings are mounted, they have to be pushed forward in the slot on the base. After the last group, the gunsmith that built the rifle and I re-checked the rings and base, and they were solid as a rock.
I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
