When you first mount your scope and go to zero it what is an acceptable amount of windage to dial in to get a zero? At what point do you start to think there is an issue with the rail, scope, mount etc…
The reason I ask is I was playing around last weekend with a scope that I know was dialed in on a rifle but put it in a quick detach mount I had to see if I liked the height and it shot about 10 inches to the right. I knew right away something was off so put it on two other rifles and was the same 10 inches off. Since I knew it was not the rifle or scope I threw it in a spuhr mount I had and right back to center. This got me wondering at what point do you say hey, something is not right here. I would also think the “allowed” amount will change based on the equipment such as integrated rail or not, quality and type of mount, quality of scope, I am sure the caliber even plays a role.
