Hi all. First time using a new Vortex Optics Crossfire II 6-24x50mm on my 516. Is it to be expected that shooting at a different magnification on a variable scope would drift the shot grouping?
All shots from 100 yards on a bench rest. I shot #1, #2, #3, and #4 at 18x magnification, but #5 which I circled in yellow was shot at 8x magnification. The average of this group is 1-2 inches higher than the other shot groups. Is a drift like this to be expected using this scope?
Note that the center one was just after I mounted the scope... I moved it 5 clicks and shot the smaller diamonds without modifying the zero.
