Everyone seems to be ignoring this statement made in the original post.

The scope hasn't moved b/c I also shot a few regular 130gr. Power Points that I keep with me for yotes. These still hit in the same place as they did last year. [/blockquote]
If the poi has not changed at all for one load,the difference has to be the other load.Bedding or scope problems would effect both loads.
Thank you for that point! Like I said, I have about a half of box of 130gr PP's left from last year that I bought just foryotes. They hit in the same place as last year. Its just the accubonds that have changed. And again the bullets are grouple extremly well, just the POI is a little off. I bought the bullets a year a part and from two different stores. Thanks for the info.the lot # thing, i knew nothing about. Those bullets are $25.00/box so it kinda hard to buy stock these days.[:@]
Vapor, last tasco I got was when I was a kid, it was junk. But not the top of the line. Probably bottom of the line, think it was a pronghorn or something simpler. I went to Bass Pro and looked at some world class's and they didn't hold a candle to a conquest. Didn't pass any of my tests.
American rifleman has a nifty resolution chart in there last issue. hang that bad boy up across a store and set your top of the line tasco on the same power as a VXIII or Conquest and look at the target, then find a dark hole, shelfs work great for this. see if you can read something in it with all scopes. What you are looking for is a strong contrast, like looking in a cave on a bright day. This will tell you some light characteristics. Also look at few different of the same brand. Some will be better than others. Most stores frown on this. But its all about yield.
BigCountry, I would really like it if you posted this on the other thread about cheap scopes. It did not answer any of my questions and takes up my time reading it. I gave the cheap scope bid a rest, so at least do it in my posts. Thanks.
By the time your post got read, It got how many responses that had nothing to do with my question?
Oh yeah, I also did that little test with my scope and I didn't have any problems. Thanks again.
