oh i never considered taking it into the field before shooting it i just didn't anticipate having to go through the whole sighting in process again. had her sighted in in about 9 shots then i just tuned it

its a good scope and it was off by a country mile!

-And everyone's mileage may vary.  I had to remove a scope from my 10-22 this year when I noticed the forward rail screw came loose. I left the rings tight on the scope and removed the ring to rail screws carefully counting the turns to just get them off the rail. I locktighted and tightened the screw,  and returned the ring bases to original positions. Tightening the scews the same revolutions until tight. Test firing... It shot 2" to the right @50yds when it had been zero'd at 50yds before that. That's with everything going back to original locations. I am not suprised that your gun was off target at all.

i wasn't surprised it was off, i was surprised how far off it was. only reason for the thread is because i was wondering how off it would be after i moved it and i tend to post whats bouncing around in my head on here. sometimes that's a good thing and some times that's a "oh my god this guys a nut job wacko extremest thing"  :dunno:

Well, the crazy thing is... A friend and I pulled a scope off once. Out of the rings. Rings off the bases. Put it all back together after honing a new set of rings in place. It shot exactly where it did before we pulled it apart. That's only happed once to me. Total exception to the rule.

Off the paper at 50yds is a little out of the norm after puttin a previously zero'd scope back on is a stretch though. (although you did completely move the mount positions.)  I almost think there could be a little torque on the tubes by the rings not being true. Or that the rail positions are not milled exactly the same at each notch. I use a 1" piece of stainless rod with 600grit wet/dry and hone rings to make sure they're straight and will not bend a scope. You'd be surprised at how out of alignment many ring installations are.
