On your rifle every year? Put in a little bench time this morning and got fine tuned after putting a muzzle device on, and changing ammunition from last year. First three shots weren't far off, being just an inch left, so I fine tuned, and am ready for the opener tomorrow! Never take anything for granted. Check that zero!

Much better than s cheese grater hanging off the end of it. I check zero if I change loads.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Yes, and I like the linear compensator. I have an APA Gen II Micro-Bastard which is damn near ear shattering.

Yes, I always check zero.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I'll check zero before just before opening day, then again at the end of the season before final cleaning and storing.

Yes, sort of. I like shooting my rifles and do often so in a way I'm always checking zero.

I kinda remember where I was last year, and hold off a little bit. Saves ammo.
