Maintaining Zero

[chuck nelson]

The product of a good scope properly mounted in good mounts, good bedding, good assembly, good barrel, and inert stock.
I checked this tonight. I haven't touched the turrets since final sight in over two years ago and the rifle has been back packed, in a scabbard or three, and taken a few head of game.
You can keep your plastic parts, pot metal, European variables, $40 scope mounts, and walnut. Thank you very much. :sHa_shakeshout:

Well now I'll have to get rid of my Leica and Zeiss scopes.

I think chuck covered that when he said "good scope"

Hmmm.... Seems as though European variables are not up to snuff

I did a similar test a couple of years ago.

Shot one shot on a target at 350 yards while up on a moose hunt. Saved the target. The following year went back to the same spot with the same target at the same 350 yards... and shot one more shot... the two shots were less than i inch apart.

Nothing like good schit.

I have a 300$ ruger american that shoots 1/2 moa. Its in a cheap unbeded boyds stock with a chitty Redfeild scope. Its killed everything I have ever shot with it.

I havent touched the zero in 4 years, I shot it once a year to confirm it and take it out hunting.

I'm just poking a bit of fun with that one.

where did the first two shots hit?

Once I have my zeros set,I never touch them. Periodically,I check them with a laser bore sighter,but,that's about all unless the rifle has been banged or dropped.

How many groups do I need to shoot with a rifle?

Thats just being lazy. I zero mine all the time. When I'm shooting I'll adjust it every few shots. Sometimes when I'm feeling ambitious I'll make an adjustment after every shot. That way I always know it dialed right in.

Sorry. This post was just silly

 

[chuck nelson]

What direction do you suggest I start the adjustments.

 

[prarie_boy]

What mounts do you use chuck out of curiosity?

You are correct. Your post was just silly.

S&K on this one. I used them years ago and then revisited them at the urging of a couple of wise members here.

How far do you feel comfortable shooting this gun at game?

 

[chuck nelson]

Here is a 400 yd group with this rifle. The three shot group contains three different bullets. A 145gr LRX, a 140gr TSX, and a 140gr partition. The one at the top is a sighting shot with the 140 Accubond.

I'm comfortable with it for a long ways.
