RE: simmons 8point scope

A family member just purchased a Savage 110 30-06with an 8point simmons. right out of the box it shot a 3 shot 15/16" group 3/4" low @100 we moved it 3 clicks and it took 3 more shots to settle in...32 shots later it totally lost zero and will NOT hold true anymore. Not even on an old Stevens 121 22lr
