Basically, the issue is probably the scope. Somebody needs to communicate to Walmart that there are no good free scopes! It is probably parallax. A 100yd 0 will put you near the std 150yd parallax setting.

It's not parallax. That will only affect impact to a very small degree, and is only a factor in very precise target type shooting.

Wal-mart will continue to sell rifles with junk 'scopes as long as folks will buy them. It's the consumer who needs to realize that they're junk.

Caveat Emptor, so to speak.

Again, I truly feel it's the problem I described above. I've seen this on better 'scopes that the ones included in package deals at Wally-Mart. I remember this happening on several different Simmons 'scopes I tried on a Weatheerby MKV. A customer paid for the rifle, 'scope, hardware, and mounting that included bore sighting. I could see the movement of the crosshairs on the bore-sighter. I finally chose the one that did it the least, and let it go at that.

Sad, but true, and it's the only explanation that makes sense to me.
