Started the process all over.
Once I got the gun close to zero, I shot 3 cold, warmed the scope via hairdryer and heater vent of truck for 5 minutes and shot 3 more. None of the groups were very good. I am not sure if it was conditions (windy), the fact my AR really needs a cleaning, or if the scope isn't grouping as well as it did before. However for my test, my POI didn't really change. However, it can be hard to tell when you didn't group very well, but the two groups were pretty close. I am going to scrub my AR really well, and try again down the road. I read on Pulsar Hunting FB page that one guy got his XP38 back with the new firmware and it was actually moving poi worse than when it went in. This stuff is so fruatrating as a consumer. I love many of the features that the Pulsar units have, but theres no way im purchasing one of their units with this many problems across the board. Especially not for the price they are asking. Heck ive had cheap Tasco Scopes with less poi shift as many of Pulsar owners are having and the tasco only cost me $19.95 on clearnece.
