philpot 4,925 Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 A question for my shooting partner. Last week we set zero as a starting point of 25mt, perfect. Today I had a call from my pal saying that it was off zero by approx 3'' soooooo how could this happen. My pal removed the battery when he got home last week from the range and didn't replace it until today, could that have lost zero. Any ideas please guys.

vizlauk 1,568 Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I'm with Wilbur, out of the 5 storage settings, are you sure he was on the same as previously zeroed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philpot 4,925 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hang on boys. This is the standard 008 not lrf or with updated firmware so I thought there was only one zero profile. The zero was set last week and nothing else done to it except to switch it off and remove the battery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
si brown 8,486 Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I’d say it’s more than likely had a nock Phil, I tightened mine up mega tight with an Alan key and I’ve never had to re zero it and it’s been out loads of times 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vizlauk 1,568 Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I didn't realise is was a standard 008 ! The next guess would be that the zero wasn't saved, my old standard 008 has never skipped a beat ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philpot 4,925 Posted November 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Thank you guys, I have passed on all your feedback. I don't know how it could not register the zero Sean because when the cross hairs have been moved to the poi and 'OK' pressed, it is registered/locked in unless I/we have misunderstood the process. It is on a Browning T-bolt .22lr using subs ammo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philpot 4,925 Posted November 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Just an update, my pal checked the extra picatiny rail and 008 studs and they were not tight. It is all now tightened up and he is off to the range to set zero this morning. I think without doubt this was the issue, schoolboy error as we thought eachother had tightened the all the fixings Thanks guys Phil 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
