Scope Zero Check Thread

[Justin Crossley]

My Tikka 25 CM has been riding around in a soft case in a Decked drawer in the back of my Raptor since I shot it a week or so ago in the mountains in Eastern WA. In that drawer I also had another rifle in a soft case and tripod and other various gear.

Drove home and then back and forth to work all week. Friday I drove from Western WA to Eastern OR.

I pulled it out Friday to get power factor, shot three rounds into the dirt for velocity and tossed it back into the drawer on top of the case.

Total milage is close to 1000 miles of pavement and about 30 of dirt and gravel roads.

Pulled it out Saturday morning and started shooting the NRL match in LA Grande Oregon. First stage the targets were in the 400-500 yard range and I was hitting dead center. Next stage had targets over 925 yards. My elevation was spot on and I missed my wind call slightly.

I shot the rest of the match that day and the next and my rifle continued to hit the targets where expected throughout the match. I dropped a total of 23 points out of 136 possible and never once had an issue with the rifle, dope, or scope working as I expected them to.

I intentionally did not check zero when I shot for power factor on Friday just to show how much I trust this system after doing the same thing last year. I'll shoot the rifle some more over the next couple of weeks before flying down to a match in California in April.

More to come....

I swapped scopes on my 16” AR and rezeroed it last week.

Zeroed at 50, confirmed at 200. Stretched to 600 for validation.

Did you mean to write such a sexual sentence here??

My rifle had an FOB this morning. Fell Outta Buggy. End over end and again.





We are out of sorts. Our house is torn up and dudes are working on it so I set up on a dirt pile as into the wind as I could. I had to bush hog a lane and relocate a Black Racer. It’s flukey wind today and gusty. Had a cold front come thru last night as did most of the east coast.

I couldn’t see the target when I went prone so I settled for the middle of an “A”.



I adjusted my windage turret .5 mil left and moved the orange target and hit it again.




22-250 barrel was hotter than a 2 dollar pistol.

Nice piece of carbon fiber in my thumb from operating safety.



I’m going to adjust my turret left .1 mil more and burn up the rest of this ammo. I’m using some random boxes of small quantities to get rid of them. These were Hornady 55gr FMJ with around 35.9 gr Accurate 2520 dropped from a Harrels Precision powder dropper.
