Really??You have not dissected the gun and if it was safe enough to shoot at 3 deer it is safe enough to hang a target and quickly check 0.
Boy the moral, self righteous lectures continue... Ok buddy... Let's dissect your statement vs the facts...
1. "You have not dissected the gun" - WRONG - I have dissected the gun, but not the zero. I have checked all screws, the bore alignment with scope (at close range indoor), and even pulled the bolt and and gun internals and made sure nothing was off.
2. "if it was safe enough" - WRONG - safety was not a factor in any of this so please stop gas lighting.
3. " to shoot at 3 deer" - I shot at 4 deer. The first was a dead as dead can get. The other 3 were across 2 different hunting sessions where the first I just thought I (purposely) may have aimed a bit too low because I was not sure if cows had moved behind it and stay ultra careful with this guys cows. #2 and #3 were same day and when I began to wonder what's up. Please stop insinuating I randomly shot at 3 deer and was not evaluating anything.
4. "to shoot at 3 deer" - After deer 4 I did not shoot any others. I actually spent most of my last few huntable days looking to make sure there were NO dead deer, and evaluating my gun.
5. "to hang a target and quickly check" - MISLEADING - at what distance? 10 yards? 50 yards? 100 yards (which I what this was sighted in at)??? I did try to "hang a target" quickly check 0. But without a stable rest, a lead sled, etc it was somewhat futile (note I said previously I did not have access to a range). The only place I can "hang a target and pop off a few WTF rounds" is this guys property at the moment - which btw, kind of screws up hunting there. More so I need to be on a bench rest or similar - can't just do prone because of grass, ground swells and needing to make sure his animals don't move in where I am shooting. At 20 yards it shot 1.5". Beyond that, bullets were on paper but without a stable rest could not tell you much. Too many variables.
6. When I can access a range with the right facilities I AM going to dissect the zero.
Anyone else want to troll?
