I have a Burris 4x rifle scope on my 308 win....I have had it on there ever since I got the gun a few years ago. I had it sighted in 1" high @ 100 yards with 1/2 inch groups...Took it out two days ago to make sure she is till holding on...Was shooting 4" high at 100 yards....ok...So I lower it and get it back to 1" high at 100 yards...Well then what happens is I was noticing that every shot was 3 inch's different....I know its not me making it miss cause that gun don't even move when its on rest. So I take 5 rounds and fire each round aiming at one of the red dots...First shot hits about 3-4 inch's off to the left, second shot hits 3 inch to the left and 3 inch's high...next shot shoots 4 inch's to the left and 5 inch's high....I check to make sure every thing is tight and it is. Something is wrong with that scope...I took 3 different kinds of 150 gr ammo and figured out on a new piece of paper were that newer stuff was hitting. They all did the same thing. I even cleaned the gun before and after shots...I don't know what to do now...Leaving Thursday... Good news is that my pistol shoots hella nice @ 100 yards! Shotgun gets 2 inch groups @ 100 with these sabots. Shooting dead on..
What to do what to do..Still have the Remington 700 270 win but that gun has not even gotten a box of ammo put thu it yet....Don't have any ammo for it too...
d**n..this stinks....

I haven't heard of Burris having loose parts. But maybe you do have a lens that popped loose. The only other option is maybe you were having a bad day at the bags. Try another gun when your shooting is off. You will see easily if it is you or the gun. My kid shoots better than I do most of the time, and I shoot less than 2 inch groups. He couldn't hit the paper this year. I shot his gun and it was on. He was just having a bad day. So in thery, it could be a loose nut behind the scope.

na...it was not the shooter...I busted out a few of my other more high dollar non hunting guns and was thinking why don't I use these if I can put half a dozen shots in a dime @100 yards but then I remembered the weight of them is a little more then what I care to pack around I liked my utlra light guns I'm getting the 270 win and the 300 mag out today...Gonna put them on paper and see what they look like. They both have a higher dollar scopes on them...

Well, its the scope. Has to be. Cause I ran down to the store picked up some 270 win ammo and got the ol 270 out of the gun safe. Found what I'm gonna have a long with me this year for deer. Maybe I outta go take a picture of that nice little dime size hole at 100 yards So after getting them groupings I grabbed the ol busted up 308 and after 5 shots it was not even on paper anymore...POS scope...grrr..... Thinking of buying another Leupold scope. Have a few of them on my other high power rifles and like them...
