Well... after a couple range trips getting ready for hunting my Trail XP50 is once again shifting zero.
Back story... acquired it new Nov 2017 and immediately had the issue. Sent it back to Pulsar, and after about three weeks and some experimenting on their part, I got it back with a supposed clean bill of health.
The first couple range trips showed almost no POI change worth noting... I considered an inch or so ok. Fast forward through hunting times and I was killing what I was shooting at so really never benched the unit.
After April 2019 I noticed a shift of a couple inches but chalked it up to many days/night in the field and time... and it just being what it was.
Well staring in August 2019 I started making notes, and sure as crap it's still shifting, 2" and now over 3". The groups are good, just not where I'm aiming.
This am at 52-degrees, it's low 3 1/2" and left 2 1/4"... and that's after making an adjustment back in September where it was off low and right by 2".
So... it's off to see what Pulsar will do.
I'm asking for a completely new unit... this one has PROVEN to be unreliable... or a refund.
Based on previous contacts and dealings with Pulsar I expect to be made whole one way or the other.
Will update this when I hear from them.
