scope question
« on: August 30, 2012, 04:06:37 PM »
Hey guys quick question. I sent my rifle in to get re blued and before I sent it in I took off my scope and rings. It was dead on before I took everything off and was wondering if I re mount everything will it still be accurate? Thanks for the help kind of a newbee.

I would take it to the range and shoot it...

You definitely need to shoot it... 

Better safe than sorry on the buck or bull of a lifetime.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Also, since you said you are kind of a newbie...  I would advise shooting/checking your rifle prior to hunting season every year.   Things can happen, and you should always check it.

I am going to shoot it just don't want to go to the range and have it not hitting paper. Will it still be some what close?

Might be close, might not.  A quick bore-sighting before sending anything down the spout should tell you.  Doesn't take much of a change to throw them off down range.
It is better to be consistently incorrect than inconsistently correct...

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...

Sarcasm makes smart people laugh and stupid people mad.
