Zero Offset for Different Rifle Configuration Profiles

[General RE LEE]

Ive been brain storming about the feasibility of creating a couple different profiles in 4DOF for my 6 ARC. Profile 1 would be rifle with suppressor and a true 100 yard zero. Profile 2 would be bare muzzle and zero offset would be applied due to the POI change. I could use the appropriate DOPE on a hunt based off how my rifle is configured.

Has any tried this or tested it in the field? A lot of times when I remove the can on rifles, POI changes but it’s still “minute of whitetail” within typical hunting ranges here in the East.

Not exactly like that but for different bullets in a given rifle with different points of impact I just decide which one I will truly zero off and then load in the others with a zero offset (I still have strelokpro from before it was sanctioned and blocked) and it has a feature to do that for each cartridge profile.

Yep I lost Strelok on my iPhone recently.

Do you have the old phone with it still? There is a way to transfer it over, I got a new phone 6mo ago and did so. It lost connection with the internal barometer now but otherwise is functional.

There is a program you put on your computer, back up the old phone to and then load the app into the new phone with.

Cool. I think I’m going to run Hornady’s 4DOF from now on. My handloads are pretty basic for 3 rifles.

I’ve wrestled with this before and even once took two loads on an elk hunt, but eventually decided my rifles were either zeroed or not, with one load per rifle.

I’ve also carried subsonic ammo for my kids’ .350 legend thinking I’d have a chance to swap loads and shoot a doe up close with a sub. At the end of the day it isn’t worth it. If I remove a suppressor from a rifle I consider it unzeroed even if I’ve noted the POI shift before. Same with swapping ammo. I’m not an organized enough person to keep track of all that.

Understood. I had a Tikka where it would be 1.5” high without a can and zero’d at 100 with a can. I just knew without the can, it was the traditional “one and half inches high” at 100 which closely equates to 200 yard zero. I just had to accept I wasn’t going to be dialing in that configuration.
