Had a GREAT shooting day this afternoon. NO wind for a change. Was shooting my 22 Wildcat with a 6x24 Vortex. 25 Wildcat and my Boss both with Hawke Sidewinder 8x32 and a 177 FWB with a 4x12 Vortex. What I noticed was that when I got above about 3/4 power my POI would start to suffer. Not much, but noticeable. Everything is the same except for the power level. Im at a loss to explain it. any ideas?
interesting observation

Poi should not change from changing the magnification power on the scope. This thread is in the scope, rings, and accesories so i assume you are talking about magnification power not fill pressure. Maybe your poi is changing due to lower fill pressure. I have seen some fx boss reviews where their poi would shift from left to right as they continued shooting their fill. So it seems it is even seen on regulated guns

Unless you have a FFP scope the POI will most certainly change if the magnification changes."FukoChan"Poi should not change from changing the magnification power on the scope.

Yes, all of the guns. I even noticed this on the Boss when I had the expensive FFP 6x24 PST Vortex taken off of my 6.5 Creedmoor. Each gun is a little different, but my groups will go from 1/2 inch to maybe 3/4. Noticeable. It has got to be something I'm doing, but so far I have not figured it out.

That's odd! Maybe you are sub consciously thinking that since you can see the target better at higher magnification that you don't have to concentrate so hard on the fundamentals of marksmanship. Just guessing here.
