I have several and they all seem to shoot POI = POA no matter what power setting I’m using. Granted I don’t shoot one hole 10 round groups but they do group. I read something the other day that made me go hummmm. Someone giving a review on a scope wrote that there was only minor deviation (1 ¼” to 1 ½”) at 100 yards from 8 to 32 power, which he deemed acceptable in a lower cost scope. None of my scopes were “expensive” and I’ve never noticed and change of POI v POA at any distance. Does the guy now what he’s talking about? I ¼” to 1 ½” shift in POI by changing the power setting?
