I was at the range last weekend shooting my new marlin .22 rifle. I have a 9x scope on it and i sighted it in at 20 yards.At 20 yards i put em all in the same hole. when i moved to 50 yards it started shooting high about an inch. when i moved to 75 yards it started shooting about 2 1/2 inches high.
When i moved back to 30 yards it was right on target.

Any ideas as to why its shooting higher and higher as i move farther down range ?

Any help is appreciated.
