[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2961135, member: 109917"] I have and I will get to test the theory this weekend. I have done the multiple day, multiple trip one shot zero verification. 1 shot on multiple days, multiple trips to the range and in temperatures from well over 100º to down to 33º. I knocked my rifle over while trying to get the garden hoe out of the back of the truck to kill a rattlesnake on Thanksgiving day. I had leaned it up against the side of the truck planning to case it but the extra effort required to get to the hoe dislodged from the chains and extension cords actually dislodged the rifle from the gap between the taillight and bed and when I came back after killing said snake and cutting off it's rattles, there was my 280 Ackley laying on the rock strewn ranch road. I was actually a little sick. It has never lost zero in multiple trips to the deer lease, piled in the back of the truck in a soft case with other rifles, trips across the ranch from one side to the other in a Ranger, un-cased, loaded, strung across my shoulders for the 930yd walk to the stand, 930yds back, unloaded, re-cased and then tossed into the back of the truck for the washboard ride back to camp. It's similar to one of Form's tests and honestly, I had time to check it out while still at the lease over the weekend, just didn't think it was necessary since I have complete faith in the system. Now I get to "know" if my faith is valid. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
