I went and fired a few shots. First 2 where with in the same area, then I had one go stay . I might of flinched on that one. 4th was back in the group. Group was about 1.5 apart. Gives me some thing to start from. 
There was a few shooting clays up the hill @ 180yrds.  Destroyed them  :IBCOOL:

I'm going to get a bore siting tool and another box of ammo. I love this rifle.

From your first post I would say your scope is rotated 90 degrees off.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Then again sometimes a scope will stick a bit and a few turns wont move anything..especially on a used rifle.  A little whap along with an adjustment might help.

A boresighting tool will only get you "on the paper" at 25 yards.  It will NOT accurately zero the scope.  Only actual shooting will do that.
My method posted earlier does the same thing a boresighting tool will do, but saves me from buying an expensive tool.  :IBCOOL:

Weird.  Sill sounds like it's 90 degrees out.

Could be...The turret marked "UP--DOWN" should be on top.

Not when he said he turned the knob to move the shot right 4 clicks and it went down 4 clicks, twice even!  :chuckle: :chuckle:

90degrees off?   This is the scope. I'll post pics of it on the rifle if necessary. Unless your referring to the scope being messed up some how. I don't see how this can be mounted wrong , in any way.

Either your mount is loose, or the scope internals are damaged/defective.  If the mounts check out OK, send the scope in for repair.

That is probably the best answer on here. The very samething happened to me and it was a defective scope. I called Burris, sent it back and was fixed for free.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

I have a poorly made task scope for messing around on my .300 RUM and it wouldn't go to the right either. I just ended p and messed around with it untl it shot on target, and now it drives tacks into the target at most distances. I would suggest just upgrading the quality of your scope  :twocents:

By the way, I am not saying your scope is of bad quality, rather that ifnyou have checked the mounting system, etc, that it might be time for a new scope.

I just want this scope to work for the rest of the year. Got my eyes on a much nicer scope. Just don't want to fork out the cash for it so soon.

I devised a fast, easy way to boresight my guns.  Remove the bolt, if a bolt gun,

"I devised" ??? 

The poor mans bore scope process has been around since the early 60's. I'm not saying that you didn't invent the process.. But...  :rolleyes:

That said... Raul Duke,  When you're adjusting the scope for it to bring point of impact to the right, are you adjusting the screw on the 'right' side of the scope, or the top? It is possible that the scope is assembled incorrectly with the tags for right/left and up/down in the wrong turret.  And yes, if the scope is mounted 90 degrees canted left (looking from the rear), then as HereDoggy pointed out, you would get the exact results you are explaning to us.  So... That would be a turret on the left and a turret on the top.  Normal mounting would be a turret on the top, one on the right.  (exept for some of the newer tactical models with dots and such that provide three turrets.)

So... If you can provide photo of the scope mounted, and with the caps off of the turrets so we can see what is stamped there, we might be able to help.

Well with what you said was happening in your first post your scope is broken assuming that it has been mounted as shown the whole time.
