Scope Tracking Fixture.

[Just Chuck]

I did a quick search and didn't find the answer to my question.
There's a fair amount of info about tracking fixtures on SH and what I would like to know is, why not just shoot a tall target test and get actual results of scope tracking? We know that the bullet is the truth, so why not let it tell us how accurate the tracking is on a particular scope/rifle set up?

It seems to me that by taking a scope off, mounting on a fixture, then re-mounting on the firearm increases the chances for some errors.

What are the advantages of a tracking fixture that I'm not seeing?

They can do 10-15 scopes in a matter of minutes at the start of each class under identical conditions across a large number of scopes and conditions

A guy alone can do a tall target test On his scope to figure out the same thing but we don’t need to test hundreds of scopes

The bullet doesn’t lie. But, the bullet may be telling you that you made a bad trigger press or managed recoil improperly.


Do you and your rifle shoot .1 mil each and every time? The scope tracks .1......do you?

Taking the optic off actually reduces the chance of error.
