It's almost like a playing Clue trying to diagnose weapons issue via internet.Yeah and Stag and I are only like 170 of those

I'm just blessed that way. LOL. Brian's was technically a tough one to take on for a first-time AR build (I guess a good one for learning from "what could possibly go wrong").Stag always kinda takes one for the team lol, I always wait to see what new combinations he tries out.
I appreciate that he posts what goes right and what goes wrong with his different projects.
I’m sure that it has been helpful for many along the way.

I guess I'll have to break down and do some actual testing instead of wild-ass-guessing
Be sure you have accurately measured and entered the line of sight above the line of bore dimension.
Its a major player.
That was my first thought as well--that mount looks like you're pushing at least 1.75 to 2 inches high--does it have any MOA cant built into it? That also can throw your calculations and the ability of the scope depending on the range of MOA the scope has. Your over-all variation in POI elevation doesn't seem out of the ordinary to me in terms of "major malfunction" little changes can make a big difference as the distance stretches. What IS important is whether your scope is tracking accurately or not--I would get a solid velocity chrono on your ammo then run a tracking test after doping your bullet drops per MOA/Mil. Bryan Litz has a good video on how to do that on Youtube someplace.Be sure you have accurately measured and entered the line of sight above the line of bore dimension.

Some shooters find chronos useful for estimating velocities.No chrony. :shrug:
The scope tracked beautifully at 100. I didn't do any fancy box tests or anything but it went where I moved it.
The scope has the ability to fudge it. You tell it your actual zero, estimate the muzzle velocity and then shoot at a longer range (say 275 actual zero and then shoot at 400). You then tell the scope how far off you are and it calculates what MV would result in that trajectory.

I'm not saying the fancy tech toys aren't useful, but they work best on a range. Paper doesn't move around much while you're fiddling with the knobs. But hey! It's your show!
