It’s complicated 😐

[sharkhunter]

To make a long story short for whatever reason my scope is defective and waaay off ! I found this out back at camp after this mornings circus in the woods. Just an FYI to all if you shoot a hogs tongue off he gets really really angry !!! His tongue was laying on the ground right where he was standing.

More then a bump. It’s shooting a 16inch group. I have no idea what has happened. I don’t remember ever bumping it and it shot a nice 1-1/2” group at the range right before season and it’s been in a hard case so I am lost as to what could have happened. It’s not going back in the woods untill I get new glass on it and a trip to the range.

Keep shootin. One of them is bound to hit him. I bet that hog will be waiting for you next time you walk to the stand. What brand scope?

It was a Simmons. That sucker went nuts and tore up the woods for about 100yrs screaming like a woman with her hair on fire. I could only get off one shot. It was unnerving to say the least.

The FIRST thing I would do is make sure with a torque wrench that all screws are the proper setting. If they are, so many unknown variables. Cheap scopes can do the same hole groups.

I have a wheeler torque driver. All are at 18in/lbs. never had a problem with Simmons before. This was on my lever gun I use for hogs so I wanted a compact scope. Guess it gets a Leupold vx3 now as well.

Check the hardware that secures the receiver/barrel to the stock, happened to me once, they were loose as a goose.

I have had 2 Simmons scopes. The first was a Simmons 5x20 Whitetail which has been spot on ever since I installed it about 10 yrs ago. Never have moved the zero. The second was a 22mag scope with BDC and re-settable zero turrets. Never got that one to shoot worth a s*#@. I'm talking 12"groups @ 25 yds on a Savage bolt 22. Can't hit a squirrel with that except by accident. Will stick to better quality from now on.

I had that happen to me it ended up being the mount screws that worked loose

[BTLowry]

That took some skill to time his mouth opening so you could shoot his tongue off

[Texas8point]

did you check the rings/mounts ? one of them might be loose ?

Nerve heard of a pig tongue shooter before, there must be a new millennial fad for pickled pig tongues.

May not be your case, but my dad had similar issues years ago. Ended up being a small nick at he end of his barrel on the inside. Gunsmith repaired the nick and all was well.
