I installed the above scope on my AWSM 338 using AI dovetail mount some years ago. It zero'd at .6 mil above the max low adjustment at 100yds. I have run over 1000 rounds through the rifle since and sent the scope to S&B service about a year ago (no charge for service - thank you Jerry at S&B) and reinstalled with same zero. No surprises when shooting after the S&B service.
I bought new AI AT 308 this summer and while waiting for Razor HD 4.5-27 optic took the S&B scope from my .338 and put on the AT using some Badger rings I had. Loved it of course. Great rifle. Happily it really likes some store bought ammo I had bought a bunch of ten years ago.
Finally rec'd Razor HD and installed on the AT with Seekins 1" tall rings. Yikes that scope seems heavy, but I like it. I don't think is as "bright" at S&B though. Still a great buy from EuroOptic.
Reinstalled S&B scope on the AWSM. With the el turret at bottom of down travel my zero is now way way off vertically - about 5.0 mil.
I have not had the AI mount off the the .338. I checked the torque on the AI mount screws and it is correct. I have taken scope off and on a couple of times - not moving mount base - using proper torque to mount and the zero repeats. I have not dropped the S&B either on or off either rifle.
I am baffled as to what has happened. I am going to contact S&B and see what they suggest, but thought I would look for insight or experience here.
Thanks,
Forest
