Zero Shifting weirdly

[smeredit06]

Hey All. Have a Tikka T3 in a MDT HNT26. Zereod last month. Shot a match. Was dialed in for everything. Then took it out of the chassis to clean the mud off of it. After putting it back together, my Zero shifted about 3-3.5 inches. Is this normal? I figured it would shift some (maybe an inch) but not that much.

The rifle is shooting consistent and seems to be sitting the chassis perfectly. Torque to the same spec, same ammo. Nothing changed besides taking it out of the chassis

Yes that’s pretty typical.

Ok. Thanks! I just figured it wouldn't shift to that extent

Gotta bed those and not touch them for best results.

That’s a big shift. I normally see a tenth of a mil or 2 not inches

I agree. Just not sure what could be. Checked everything
