Default Problem? Scope or Mounts?

Well this afternoon the sun came out and so I went out. But instead of the the Hawkens, I took the Genesis out. Something when kaflooie since last time out. The 300 gr .430" XTPs which normally shoot good out of this rifle shot a 2" group at 50 yds. (hidious). Then I shot 300 gr SWs with Harvester black CR sabots. Fiirst shot 1" high 12:00, shot #2 about 4" high, shot #3 touching shot #1, Shot #4 touching shot #2.
I had switched scopes and put a cheapie Simmons on it. I think I may have wrecked that scope. Looks like I am going to have to reinstall the Nikon Prostaff on it.
Its either the scope or the T/C Gorillia Grip scope mounts. I guess switching scopes on these mounts will see what the culprit is.
Keep your fingers crossed.

Sounds like maybe the crosshairs are bouncing, loose, etc. ?????

Let us know what you find..
