scope zero question

[deanothehunter 34]

just a question, does anyone actually check their zero on every outing ?. I recently been out a few times but zero spot on at 30 yrds then today i go out and its slightly adrift not by much but scope has not been knocked or touched in any way, i know some people say just topping up your buddy bottle if you go slightly over....for instance mine is 200 bar but have been told if i went over by 5 to 10 bar it will decrease in power and make the pellets strike lower until the pressure in bottle gets back to or under 200 bar. most buddy bottles wont allow over filling mine included but can maybe go a fair bit over but it has a blow out valve that will stop this after so much pressure, i always top up to 200 bar and stop so its very unlikely it was over pressure that caused zero to be off but in the end i had to reajust the windage and elevation turrets a touch its now perfect again but unless gun gets knocked and quite hard surely the zero should,nt move

hi buddy

always best to check your zero before shooting live quarry

as in your case "just in case"

my AAS410K recomend fill is 190 bar,but i fill to 160/170 and use to 100/110 bar as this is its sweet point

 

what rifle you using?

hi there, im using a gunpower stealth the mega capacity buddy holds way over 350 shots may be more its 200 bar charge i just top back up with a stirrup pump after each session the gunpower makers say you can get 250 to 300 bar in one before the valve bleeds it back out but i always top upto 180/200 max and its fine i always have a quick check on zero before each session at the zero range of 30 yrds then i know im ready to go but in this case it was low by an inch and needed to come right by 3 clicks now when im rested and and not out of breath with thumping heartbeat:laugh: it will go indide a 5p size circle every time but when i zero i dont just want that will do.... i want pellet after pellet striking same hole everytime:thumbs:
