Dougy Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Out tonight and put my rifle on the bonnet while I scanned. Next thing the rifle slipped off the bonnet onto the hard track..... Checked zero at 150 yds it still groups well at 1/2 inch but 1 foot to the right...... Gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Oops. At least it groups well so no major damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'll just try and shoot them on the run. As long as there running left to right Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Try giving the scope a tap on the side with a soft mallet . The reticle could have slipped . I knocked my rifle over in the garage when I was cleaning it and it was miles out on the zero . A judicious tap and back it went .

fortune Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Check the fit of the mount on the rail. It may have moved with the impact. Most scope blocks have windage movement which will allow it to be brought back on to zero. Bore sight to get it near and then fine adjust. But check that the scope and mount are both tight and that neither are loose or zero will keep shifting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 What a pig when that happens :-( Don't dissmiss the judious tap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Give it a tap lol its just had a rudy good tap from 4 feet onto hard standing. It's me that needs a tap with soft mallet On the back of my head for putting it on a slopping shiny wet surface. It's all in hand, I'll be getting it all stripped down this morning.

welshwarrior Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Dougy Dougy Dougy At least it still groups, for this one of those moment where you can now fully strip down the rifle to bare bits check everything and reassembly to ensure everything is back together correctly then zero again and off you go.

All done.. It was nice have another chance to check over and admire my lovely bedding job too :-))A quick bore sight and its looking goooooood ;-) I'm more annoyed about a wasted night, planned on covering 2 perms last night, Oh well weather's ok for tonight. Forgot to mention, ,, the scope and nv was actually separated from the rifle on the floor, so it had a good tap..

Redditch Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Did the same last year and knocked the front end clean off my photon with doubler :( it wasn't repairable, so then got an NS Wolf with a Meota Meropro 6-18x50, which worked extremely well. Now fitted an X-sight 5-18x though and see how that goes Edited October 8, 2015 by Redditch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Been out tonight and got it back to reasonable but not got the confidence to do anything over 200yds. That's the unfortunate thing. Had some head shot rabbits at 150 and 160 and a fox at 160 but it's that little bit of doubt before you send the bullet.
