So the other day I was stupid and decided to pull my rifle out of the bag through the back. That is unzip a little and slide it out front to back. Resulting in spinning the windage turret, which I didn’t know at the time.
After shooting about 5 rounds I realized that I wasn’t putting them all in the black circle but actually missing the entire paper. So I looked at my turret and the wind was around 1 mil off from 0. Put it back on 0 and let my friend take a few shots, still no hits.
After another 5 rounds at 50 and 100 yards I found out that my turret had spun 2 revolutions off my zero. Quite embarrassing since I was with a friend.
I was thinking about using the zero stop on the windage so if I do something stupid again I can reset to my zero easily. Say I put enough shims in so that it stops X mils off so all I have to do is spin to the zero. local max range is 700 and with a 20 mph wind that would be about 4 mils. As long as I leave at least 4 mils I should be ok plus I have the reticle.
Any thoughts on this?
