The Zero Check Thread

[woods223]

I check zero every so often. Like when I have an unexplained miss on an animal I'll either do a proper target test or shoot something like a pine cone etc after checking range with rangefinder. Invariably it's operator error. Anyway, as I use my rifles on a weekly basis I'm pretty confident they're pretty good at maintaining zero and I'm happy with overall accuracy. Don't have any fancy Ballistic x photos or anything but a few photos from a range shoot in Westport a couple of weeks ago. Two rifles, a 223 and a 6.5CM. Both hunting rifles shooting F-class FPR. The odd sighter out of groups is due to calibration not being quite right on individual targets so had to adjust but same for everyone who competed. Bad shots are just operator error/not reading wind right. Anyhow, I don't get too serious with stuff but I'm reasonably happy with my setups. They get me animals ok. Hope pictures/captions load ok.
