    20ga Remington problems with scope

    Hi,
    I have a 20 ga Remington 1100 and have mounted a tasco scope to it using an AIMTECH mount.

    My gun is a smooth bore bird hunting rifle that I'm trying to use for deer hunting. I'm firing 20ga rifled slugs and can't get the scope to zero in.

    I made a wooden gun vice, rested on top of a 55 gallon drum and firing at about 100 feet.

    I can't get it to impact at the same spot. Each time I fire, the round is going somewhere else usually 5 to 10 inches away.

    Any ideas? I thought maybe the scope is somehow changing each time the gun is fired. Is it possible for the scope internals to be loose somehow?

    I realize that rifled slugs are not exactly the most accurate, but we're talking 100 feet here.. not 100 yards.. FEET.

    Thanks,

    You need a solid rest.

    ~ Loose mount.
    ~ Loose rings.
    ~ Bum scope.
    ~ Parallax.
    ~ Comb too low.
    ~ Shooter error.
    ~ Target or point-of-aim too large.
