I did a few searches and didn't get any results, so I thought I would try a new thread.
I have a 10 fcp hs w/ nightforce f1 scope. Since new, I only have around 150 rounds through it- Black hills 175 smk. I have had a reoccurring shift in poi. I will get the rifle zero'd and then the poi will start to drop after 20 rds (slow fire). I will adjust, and adjust again. It still groups the shots, just gets lower as the gun heats up (sometimes up to 3 in. at 100 yds.) a gunsmith checked all tourque settings, no unusual wear on action, headspaced ok, bbl nut tight, borescoped bbl and nothing obvious. free floating at the bbl. Very frustrating!!! I sent the scope back to nightforce and they checked everything on the scope (awesome attention to my situation), but nothing wrong with scope. I called Savage, but the CS rep was not knowledgable enough to help. HIs only answer was " you can send it in, but we can only fire 10 rounds to recreate problem." Anyone else seen this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
sidenote: My first batch of hand loads had a fit problem. specs were correct, but couldn't close bolt on some, others could't extract without a lot of force on bolt. I've seen a thread on this issue, but didn't know if it is relevant to my problem.
