My zero keeps shifting with an occasional flyer. I’ll post pics. My point of aim was the top of the triangle. My first group was about 2 inches high and after making my correction (2.0 MOA) my second group was 1/4 inch right but otherwise pretty on. I waited about 10 mins and shot my third group which had 2 rounds that were 2 inches low with a flyer. I made my correction (2.0 MOA) and shot a forth group which was pretty dead on. My fifth again was about 2 inches high with a flyer again. I haven’t gotten a chance to torque down my scope but does anyone else think this could be any other problem then my scope? I’m pretty new to precision rifle shooting so I’ve never had this happen to me before.
Zero shifting. HELP!

Before you do anything check your scope mount. Make sure all the screws and whatnot are tightened down correctly. That means on the scope and how it attaches to the rifle.
Also check stock/ chassis screws for proper torque. May as well check every screw and bolt on the gun while you're at it.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by that, but it might be your culprit.
If not, what rifle, scope, and ammo are you shooting?

Hold gun tight against shoulder.
I had this problem 1 time. Some one on here told me that, and that's what it was. Also have same sight, cheek position every time.

Check the consistency of your eye position. Assuming everything else With the screws is gtg as everyone above mentioned then it’s pointing to being you.
you breaking position between shots/groups? square behind the rifle? rear bag/rest doing funny things? sight picture clear or are you seeing shadows? shit scope? what's your equipment? more info needed. triangle is actually a diamond.
You've got the list now ...
- Scope rings
- Scope mount
- Action/Chassis screws
- Suppressor/Brake loose
- Parallax / Eye Box
- Cheek weld / Shoulder weld / Position
- Trigger control
Parallax being off with an inconsistent cheek weld will definitely fuck with your head.
Honest question: How much do you think you are flinching at the pull?

Hey guys, thanks for all the comments. Tightened down the scope mount and scope rings and no zero shifting anymore. Really appreciate it boys!
Check for flinch by loading a snap cap or dummy round at random in with some live rounds. If your point of aim ends up way off when the rifle goes click, that's your problem. If so, you may want to do a bunch more dryfire.
