Bushnell LRTSi 4.5-18x44 Drop test/mini eval

[BjornF16]

Everything factory. Plastic bottom. 65 in-lbs.

I’ve seen some issues with zero shifts with the factory specs.

Can't remember if this has been asked before or not...do you put thread locker on action screws?

If it’s a screw- Degrease, loctite, torque.

Here is two sets of ten shots, no adjustments from Sunday. Comparing to the hot/cold LRTS group 2x2 shots on Sunday, I moved things .1 mil right.

Last group I will post as that is the last of my loaded virgin brass. This is after the .1mil adjustment to move poi right. Hopefully these satisfy rifle/shooter capabilities for comparison to evaluations.

If anyone needs to get rid of their lrts/i after seeing this let me know I could use one right about now

I dropped my beloved 223ai ending up hitting solid ice HARD. I had just finished a group shoot and was loading up so I turned around and checked zero.

My poi shifted .2Mils left in the melee. This is a bedded rig, brux tube, seekins rings holding a 3-12 LRHSI.....everything acceptably torqued.

Not perfect, but I honestly thought something broke given the resounding CRACK as it landed.
