Scope Zero Check Thread

Tikka T3X Lite .223, SWFA 3-9, Talley rings
I shot the four AAC 77TMK rounds that were left in the clip after hunting season.
Not the best group ever, but still zeroed (2" dot)

The zero on this rifle hasn't been touched since early October of 2023. Since then the rifle has ridden thousands of miles in the truck, shot around 750 rounds, and killed an elk and five whitetails.

Was having issues hitting at 350yds last time out. Zero check this session quickly confirmed a loss of zero.View attachment 812541
This rifle has been degreased and torqued but never paint penned. The front action screw was slightly loose. Also, when I went to slip my turrets I noticed the cap set screw were loose and had scratch marks where they didn't quite grab while adjusting (I have 2 different practice loads that I adjust off my 77 tmk zero)
Adjusted once... not quite there

Perfect now.
Gonna do some stock work to this rifle now. When I reassemble everything will be paint penned, even the turret caps...

What rings?
