moving your scope

[littlebuf]

i decided i needed a little more eye relief on my AR so i slid the scope forward about 3/4 of a inch. this is a flat top with the weaver style mount so what i did was loosen just the ring on the front and just the base on the back, moved it up a couple notches and tightened every thing back down . you guys think this threw off my scope at all?

Probably a tiny bit...but who cares. You have a 30 round mag, right?

[Bofire]

LOL and damn straight it did.

Sound like a good reson to hit the range  

[shoot-em-dead]

If it is still as accurate as it was before then it never was sighted in

[littlebuf]

ill let you guys know if it is off or not.

[Huntbear]

You will find it off some, will need some fine tuning again.  Other than that, it is probably still M O Coyote.

accuracy by volume!

[Jerry malbeck]

Probably didnt trow it off anymore then dropping it on the ground

Other than QD rings/mounts that have positive stops on the tightening hardware, the only way I'm confident that a scope will return to the previous setting is if the hardware is torqued to exactly the same setting it was first mounted at.

I'm bettin that your POA vs POI will be off a bit.

he also moved the whole thing to a different spot on the rail though...thats a little different than taking it off and putting it back on in the same spot.

'moved to a different position'

True true! I'll bet it's going to shoot well off POA.  What was said earlier???   MOC?  (Coyote)?

i have done the same thing with my ars before, were it was not put back in the same place and they can be tighted down diffrent i would bet it would be off i sure as crap would shoot it when i did it my guns were off not by much but some.

Is it a POS or a good scope?

[littlebuf]

its a good scope and it was off by a country mile! i was surprised when i went to check i figured it would be off a little and a couple of minor adjustments would put me right back. well at 100 yards i wasn't even on paper, at 25 i was barely on paper. it really surprised me how far off it was. i just barely loosened the ring and opposite base enough to slide it up. thought it would be closer. but that's why we always make sure.
