Okay, just bought my first MOA scope, a Vortex Crossfire 3-9x40 and mounted it on my Model 70 in 243. I was attempting to zero it today, got it to 1/2" low and 1" left. The scope says the adjustments are 1/4 MOA and I'm shooting at 100 yards so i turned it 4 clicks to the right and 2 clicks up. My next shots were 1-1/2" high and 3" to the right.

So, are my adjustments wrong, my math wrong, am I trying to zero at the wrong distance, etc...? For the record, I'm experienced enough that I can shoot groups instead of patterns!
