Zeroing


Recommended Posts

I last zeroed my N355 on my 22lr at 60 yards over 2 years ago and saved it to the memory.  

Since then it has mostly been on my hornet zeroed at 150 yards. I saved both zeros hoping it would be as easy as swapping the sight from one gun to the other and just selecting which zero to use, but not really expecting much after such a long time. 

I swapped the sight back earlier today and was going to zero it properly tomorrow, but thought 'I'd stick 5 rounds through it to see how far off it was. I don't think I'll bother. Not 5p size, but definitely rabbit head size. :thumbs: Technology seems to work after all.

Further to my post about the N355 losing zero, I thought I'd do some investigation.

Last week I tested my gun and sight with 5 shots and got a fairly decent result, so didn't adjust the zero in any way.

Friday night, I managed to shoot a few rabbits but the sight seemed to be getting more and more off zero so I called it a night. I tested it this morning expecting it to be shooting about a foot high, but it was more or less still on target for the 1st 5 shots,, with the first shot a perfect bullseye. :hmm:

The 2nd 5 didn't group too badly either. Not perfect, but a lot closer than I was expecting.

3rd 5 grouped not too badly either.

But when you look at the whole picture you can see the 1st group was Ok-ish. The 2nd group was about 2" higher and the 3rd group 8" higher.

By testing only 5 rounds last week it showed me the gun was zeroed - BOT ONLY FOR 5 POXY ROUNDS. Each one was getting higher and higher. I shot about 30-40 rounds on Friday and the last few shots were so high we didn't even know where to look for the splash.

Will it stay zeroed for 2 years? Yes. Will it stay zeroed for 10 rounds? No. Somehow it seems to be losing zero then miraculously regaining it when the unit is switched off for a while, We tried switching ti off and on on Friday but it made no difference. 

Luckily it's still under warranty.

First thing I checked. Definitely not a loose mount.

That's no good mate.

I've got a 4x32 BSA scope doing nothing if you want it ?

Cheers. I'm using the cardboard tube out of a bog roll at the minute. Seems better than the Pulsar.
