    I am sure it is an "eye" thing. When I was a Range Master and Firearms Instructor, I noticed different shooter shoot the same weapon with different POI. eVEN SAW IT ON PISTOLS. NEVER had a satisfactory answer as to what causes it.

    Mikie,
    Has anyone ever suggested patches if you do use glasses when shooting?

    You will of course know which of your eyes is weaker, use the stronger one to sight with so in essence it should dispense with any "parallex" issues you have with a patch over your weak one.
    I can't give you precise advice becuase I am not there, but suffice it to say,
    It is common, but it could be a culmination of severel factors including the scope making you think something is wrong with your image.

    Good luck just try it and see. I am sure your POI will definitely pickup accordingly.

    One of the guys on the range yesterday had a similar problem with a Chinese bought scope. Basically, you had to have cross eyes, blurree vsion, having cinsumed at least 10 pints of ale, and then you might hit a barn door.
    Don't do it, invest in the best when it comes to scopes or at least what you can afford in the upper market place is my advice to all.
