[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 817806, member: 10291"] I think it would be wonderful if the capability of a rangefinder would eliminate the need for re-zeroing your rifle, but it has little to do with it. The ballistic program in a rangefinder or handheld assumes the rifle is zeroed to drive it's output. Once zeroed, the G7will provide a corrected output given the basic entry info is valid. Zeroing the rifle is independent, and a confirmation that something hasn't changed since the last zero was established. Changes in atmospheric conditions, change in altitude, scope knocked out of alignment during travel, or just plain confidence to confirm that something hasn't gone out of whack are a few reasons to rezero before a hunt or other event that you want to be absolutely sure of the performance of the rifle. Once the basic zero is established, the G7 will very effectively compensate for a change in altitude/air density, temperature, etc. I have one rifle that hasn't had the zero adjusted at various locations and air travel for three seasons. A couple of others need some adjustment. I think the particular rifle components, construction, and hand load quality(like use of temperature insensitive powder) could have something to do with it. iMHO, [/QUOTE]
