[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1223807, member: 2736"] There is a way to help maintain your zero very close each time. I mark the cross pin groove on the Picatinny rail inside the front ring with a gray Permanent marker where it mounts to be sure it goes back in in the same place. After it is marked, re install the scope by hand and point the muzzle down to remove any slack between the scope base and the Picatinny rail, Tighten by hand first pushing forward on the scope and then follow with the proper torque. (Recoil tends to push any slack out forward when fired). I recommend that you try this at the range several times and after the first time reset your zero if needed, then If it repeats within reason, you are good to go. It is always best to check your zero after removing and replacing you scope, But with care, good quality Bases and Picatinny rails it is possible to get good results as long as you have a good assembly procedure and follow it every time. Note: The picatinny rail should be bedded to the receiver to prevent any possible change in position for best results. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
