Need help from the gun gurus

How are you aiming for a 200 yard shot? Are you dialing, using a different part of the reticle, or holding over -- assuming your scope is zeroed in at 100 yards? Try using a tall target at 200 yards with your bullseye near the top of the target and aim just as you would at 100 yards and see if your bullet hole is in line vertically, although it will be lower.

Bdc radical. Elevation in on. Just shooting 12in right

How you know that? What bullets? Sabot or maxi?
What propellent? Barrel harmonics? Lot of variables in play.
Maybe let someone else shoot it and see if it does the same thing to them.

Tried three different set ups on powder and bullets. All zero perfectly at 100 and shoots right at 200 yards in the 12in range

how hard was the wind blowing left to right while you were shooting?

Three different days with same issue and little to no wind

If you move it 4 clicks left at 100 what does it do at 200? Move proportionally? That's a helluva move to attribute to scope cant at only 200 yds.

If your vertical reticle line is not square with your bore then it is going to shoot either left or right of point of aim when using lower strata lines of your BDC. That is why I recommended shooting a tall target using your 100 yard point of aim.

As one of the other posters stated, if you are using the BDC feature, and your scope, or cross hairs are canted, it will cause this. It is, in fact, just about the only thing that can cause it.

I don't think it is scope cant. That scope would have to be on stupid crooked. That would be a 6 moa cant of the scope. I mean it could be, but I have yet to look down a scope ever that crooked and I have looked down some pretty crooked scopes. Would be the same as 6 inches of cant at 100 yds so his cross hair bdc bubble would have to be 6 inches to the right of his point of aim when he is aiming at 100. Doesn't sound possible for most people.

I would move the target over 12inches and compensate for accuracy that way.

In all seriousness, if you are 100% sure the scope is true to the gun and inline properly. I would try another scope. I am sure someone you know or you yourself has a scope laying around. You have ruled just about everything out.

It’s really the only thing scope related that could cause your issue.

X2 on the tall target at 200 and use your 100 yard hole.

Sounds like a scope mount alignment problem. It may have been drilled and tapped off center with the barrel.

[justletmein]

Could it be an optical thing in the scope, like a bubble in the internal glass that misaligns the spot he's focusing on with the lower reticle marks? I'm curious to see what that scope does on another rifle and what the rifle does with open sights.

Took everything apart this evening. Due to the coating dip on the scope it doesn't sit down in the rings like you would like it too. Any chance it is throwing it out of alignment by tightening it down ? This is the first dipped scope I have ever owned

I questioned that or the mount also. Both look good after braking them down

That definitely is not right. I would consider removing the dip on the scope in that area, or trying different rings.
