Something as mundane as re-torquing the mount screws can affect zero, so turning it may certainly knock everything out of line.
I zeroed it before turning and then straight after (due to it being way off)
Over the past few months ive remounted my VIPER a fair few times and adjusted for cant of ret and never had anywhere near the change in zero, infact cant even remember haveing a change come to think of it.
The full story is long so if you want to get a cup of tea here it is........
Had some major problems with one of my rifles shooting pellits where they shudnt be going, usually up (sometimes by alot), at first i though it was my rifle and gave it a pull through things seem to settle but had strange p.o.i again.
So swaped my viper to my other rifle, thinking its the rifle thats the problem and it zeroed fine then like i said i slightly twisted the scope round abit and the zero changed dramatically, i zeroed it back in and went on course, it was the emley v redferns so wanted to do my bit for the club, after the 1st 2 targets it started shooting strange again like it did with the other rifle (mainly up and left, WAY up usually)
Now the thought that it was me did cross my mind and ill be the 1st to say im not the best shot in the world to say the least but theres no way im that bad (sometimes lucky for the pellit to hit the plate at 30 yards ), ive just tried a hawke tac on the rifle i last used for the viper on and i didnt have a problem.
of course its early days yet so more testing to go this sunday at club and the shop i bought the viper from has asked for it back to test sooooo.
