Point of aim shift
I had my .300 win mag, topped with a 3200 Elite 4x12 sighted in at 50 yards and set it on a couple of sandbags on the bench next to the one I was shooting from. I did this while I was putting another round downrange with my 10ML-II. After putting one more downrange. I noticed that my .300 win mag had tipped over, fallen to the left side. I did not think much of it, as its not like it fell off the bench or anything. When I shot three rounds with it I was high and to the right. 3 more rounds, same thing. I checked the scope bases, two piece Leupolds, as I thought maybe they were loose or had shifted when falling to the side, and they seemed fine. I decided to adjust the scope to back on target. It was easy enough to get back on vertical, but I ran out of shells before being able to get back on horizontal, as I was left with two 3 shot groups of 3/4" @ 50 yards, but they were about 7 inches or so directly right of center.
Any suggestions on where to start to address this during a follow up range session tomorrow? I would not think that the scope is damaged? I would think that short fall to the side just shifted the POI? Any help would be appreciated.
